Print a cheque with two signatures
Set up a current account to print two signatures on cheques. Make sure to enter an Amount requiring 2nd signature to ensure both signatures print when you want them to.
To always print two signatures, enter the number zero for the Amount requiring 2nd signature.
Step 1: Create a digital cheque signature
A digital signature is a scanned, digital image of your signature that is used to print a signature at the bottom of cheques. Make sure the signature prints with a white background. Printing a signature with a transparent background is not supported.
- Sign your name in a 3.0" wide by 0.36" high frame.
-
Scan the signature.
Use 150 dpi resolution.
-
Save the file as a 16-bit color GIF, JPG or PNG file.
File size can't exceed 10KB.
- Open the file in a graphics program and verify that it appears correctly.
The most effective signature fills the box, leaving little white space.
If your signature doesn’t fill the box, it will appear distorted on your printed cheques.
Good: The signature fills the box.
Too small: The signature leaves too much white space.
Unclear: The signature is too small and too far to the left.
