Who We Are

ASAP Cheques, Forms & Supplies started in 1996. Along with its sister company in the U.S., ASAP Cheques has printed many millions of cheques for businesses of all sizes as well as individuals, throughout North America.

The primary reason for our success is the value that we offer. Compared to large, traditional cheque printers,

  • our prices are substantially lower
  • most of our orders are ready to ship within 1 business day (many ship the same day)
  • orders are very easy to place
  • real time order status is easy to check online
  • our Customer Service is very easy to reach, responsive and friendly (and you will hardly ever need to contact them).

We ship orders to all parts of Canada and the mainland USA (lower 48 states). 

In 2006, we began offering a cheque printing service to Canadian financial institutions - mostly Credit Unions & Caisses Populaires but some banks as well. We currently serve 87+ financial institutions and their 351+ branches.

ASAP Cheques has a mandate to be an active member of the community, in particular helping the disadvantaged. We applaud the work of volunteers and organizations, and encourage our staff to look for opportunities to get involved.

Participation includes:

  • our local food bank
  • the Salvation Army
  • Staff members participate in Pitch-In Canada day in an effort to help keep our community sidewalks free of litter
  • Lots more planned!..

Testimonials

"North Valley Credit Union moved to ASAP because we felt this company could provide a good product for our members at a fraction of the cost from other cheque providers.  Since switching we have had no complaints from members about pricing, quality or service.  Our staff find the online ordering system easy to use and the staff at ASAP great to deal with if we have questions.  Switching to ASAP was a breeze.  The online system has never failed us and the billing is always accurate and on time.  We highly recommend ASAP for a financial institutions main cheque provider and look forward to many more years of working with them."

"Les prix plus qu’abordables et la rapidité du service font que nos membres, autant les particuliers que les entreprises, apprécient énormément les produits de ASAP. Les chèques sont de très bonne qualité et les produits répondent parfaitement aux besoins. Du point de vue de la caisse, ASAP a été très accommodant lorsqu’est venu le temps d’adapter leurs produits selon nos besoins en créant des codes de produits spécifiques à notre caisse. De plus, l’utilisation de l’interface de commande est hautement conviviale."
