9 Reasons to Stop Writing Cheques by Hand & Use Cheque Printing Software

Cheques are still widely used by businesses in the UAE for rent, supplier payments, post-dated payments, instalments, and other business transactions. However, writing every cheque by hand can be slow, repetitive, and vulnerable to errors.

If your business still prepares cheques manually, cheque printing software can make the entire process faster, more accurate, and easier to manage.

FastCheque, developed by Delicate Software Solutions, helps businesses automate cheque preparation and printing while maintaining a professional and organized payment process.

Here are 9 practical reasons to stop writing cheques by hand and switch to automated cheque printing.

1. Easy to Set Up and Use

One of the biggest advantages of FastCheque is its simple setup and user-friendly interface. You do not need to be a technical expert to start printing professional business cheques.

FastCheque supports cheque formats for major banks and allows you to add or customize cheque templates when required. Once your bank and cheque details are configured, you can quickly prepare and print cheques whenever needed.

The straightforward interface also means your accounting or administrative staff can learn the software quickly and start using it with minimal training.

2. Create a More Professional Business Image

A handwritten cheque can look less professional, especially when your company regularly deals with suppliers, landlords, contractors, customers, or other business partners.

Professionally printed cheques provide a cleaner and more consistent appearance. Company details, payee information, dates, amounts, and other required information can be printed clearly and accurately.

For businesses that want to maintain a professional financial image, automated cheque printing is a simple improvement that can make a noticeable difference.

3. Automatically Convert Numbers into Words

Writing a cheque requires the payment amount to be entered in both numbers and words. Repeating this process manually creates unnecessary work and increases the possibility of mistakes.

FastCheque can automatically convert the numerical cheque amount into words.

For example:

AED 12,500.00 → Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dirhams Only

This reduces repetitive typing and helps minimize common errors when preparing cheques.

4. Save Valuable Administrative Time

Preparing cheques manually may seem like a small task, but businesses that issue dozens or hundreds of cheques can spend significant amounts of administrative time on it.

With FastCheque, much of the repetitive work is automated. You can enter payment details, select the appropriate bank account and cheque format, and print the cheque without repeatedly writing the same information by hand.

Less time spent preparing cheques means more time for accounting, finance, HR, customer service, and other important business activities.

5. Print Cheques in Seconds

When a cheque needs to be prepared urgently, manually writing all the required information can be inconvenient and time-consuming.

FastCheque is designed to make cheque preparation and printing quick and straightforward. Once the required details are entered, the cheque can be printed in seconds using your existing compatible printer setup.

This is particularly useful for businesses that process multiple supplier payments, recurring payments, or regular post-dated cheques.

6. Print Payment Vouchers and Record Slips

Cheque printing is only one part of maintaining organized payment records.

FastCheque can also help businesses print related payment vouchers or record slips along with cheques. This provides a more organized way to maintain supporting documentation for payments.

Having consistent cheque and voucher records can make it easier for your accounts team to track transactions and maintain internal financial documentation.

7. Easily Manage Post-Dated and EMI Cheques

Post-dated cheques are commonly used in the UAE for rent, instalments, supplier arrangements, equipment purchases, and other recurring payments.

Preparing a large number of post-dated cheques manually can be particularly tedious. You need to enter the payee, amount, cheque number, and date repeatedly, while making sure every cheque contains the correct information.

FastCheque simplifies this process by allowing businesses to prepare post-dated cheques more efficiently.

For recurring EMI or instalment payments, cheque dates can be generated based on the selected starting date and payment interval, helping reduce repetitive data entry and minimize date-related errors.

8. Keep Track of Post-Dated Cheques with Reminders

Printing post-dated cheques is only part of the process. Businesses also need to keep track of when those cheques are due.

Missing an important payment date can create unnecessary financial and administrative problems.

FastCheque helps businesses organize and monitor post-dated cheque information, making it easier to keep track of upcoming cheque dates and payment commitments.

Instead of relying entirely on spreadsheets, notebooks, or memory, your cheque information can be maintained in a structured system.

9. Get Better Visibility into Your Cheque Transactions

When cheques are written manually, it can be difficult to maintain a clear overview of issued payments.

FastCheque provides useful information about cheque transactions, helping businesses review and organize issued cheques based on details such as account, date, payee, and other available records.

This can make it easier for finance and accounting teams to review payment history, monitor outstanding commitments, and maintain better control over cheque-related transactions.
