Cheque Writer

A cheque writer machine (also called a cheque protector or cheque writing machine) is a device that prints or embosses the payment amount — and on more advanced models, the date, payee name, and security markings — directly onto a cheque using characters that are extremely difficult to erase or alter without visible damage. This protects your business against cheque fraud, where a dishonest recipient chemically erases a handwritten amount and rewrites it for a higher figure before banking the cheque. Any business that issues cheques regularly — especially for supplier payments, payroll, or large transactions — should have a cheque writer as a basic fraud prevention measure.

A mechanical cheque writer uses a physical embossing or perforating mechanism to imprint the cheque amount into the paper — creating raised or punched characters that cannot be erased without destroying the cheque itself. The Axpert CW-388 (RM340) is a mechanical cheque writer. It provides solid physical protection at the most affordable price point, though it typically prints the amount in figures only and requires manual wheel-setting for each cheque. An electronic cheque writer uses a print head (similar to a dot matrix printer) to print the amount digitally onto the cheque in both words and figures. Electronic models are faster, easier to use — amounts are entered via a keypad — and typically include additional features such as date printing, payee name printing, currency selection, and automatic amount-in-words conversion. The Axpert CM-268 (RM399), Biosystem iCheque 5 (RM680), Max EC-30A (RM1,050), Max EC-70 (RM1,450), and iCheque Intelligent (RM2,100) are electronic models.

An intelligent cheque writer is the most advanced type of cheque writing machine — it prints all the key fields of a cheque in a single operation including the payment amount in both words and figures, the date, the payee name, and security markings such as "A/C Payee Only" crossing. This eliminates the need to handwrite any part of the cheque, providing maximum fraud protection across all fields — not just the amount. The iCheque Intelligent (RM2,100) available at wows.com.my is an intelligent cheque writer suitable for Malaysian bank cheques. It is particularly well-suited for accounts departments that issue a high volume of cheques regularly and need a fast, secure, and consistent cheque preparation process.
