A bank cheque is drawn straight from your account and removes the need to lug around a large wad of cash for a downpayment on a new home or buying a secondhand car. But this convenience comes at a cost. Check costs can vary depending on the style of check you choose. Also, Preferred Rewards clients and certain account types qualify for free standard check styles and discounts on non-standard styles. To view check costs and explore a full catalog of checks and related products, sign in to Online Banking to order checks or deposit tickets. For more information about fees and pricing for your.

Enrol in direct deposit

The Government of Canada is switching to direct deposit for all its payments. If you currently receive your federal payment(s) such as your income tax refund, GST/HST credits, Canada child benefit or Canada Pension Plan payments by cheque, enrol in direct deposit.

Identification you need to cash a Government of Canada cheque

To cash your cheque, you'll have to show one acceptable piece of identification (ID). The ID must have both your photo and your signature. For example, your ID could be a driver’s license or a passport.

If you don’t have any ID with both your photo and your signature on it, you’ll have to show two acceptable pieces of ID. You may also have someone in good standing with the bank or in the community confirm your identity.

When a bank won’t cash your Government of Canada cheque

Cashing your emergency benefits-related cheque

The Government of Canada has temporarily increased the cheque-cashing limit to $2,000 for emergency benefits-related cheques to individuals.

Code

A bank can refuse to cash a Government of Canada cheque for you if:

  • the bank suspects that it's counterfeit
  • the cheque is for more than $1,500
  • the cheque has been endorsed or signed by a third-party
  • the cheque has been altered in some way
  • the cheque is connected with a crime or fraud

If the bank won’t cash your cheque, it must give you a letter saying it won’t do so. It must also tell you how to contact the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) if you have a complaint.

Cashing an old Government of Canada cheque

You can cash a Government of Canada cheque no matter how old it is. Government of Canada cheques don’t have an expiry date and never become stale-dated. However, it may take longer to cash an older cheque because a financial institution may first want to verify that the cheque is legitimate.

If you’re having a problem cashing an old federal government cheque, send it to the Cheque Redemption and Control Directorate. Ask to have it reissued with a current date.

Cashing your Government of Canada cheque at a payday lender or cheque-cashing outlet

Payday loan companies and other cheque-cashing outlets charge a fee to cash a Government of Canada cheque. The fee is usually a percentage of the amount you're depositing plus a flat fee.

Example: How much it costs to cash a Government of Canada cheque at a payday loan company

Suppose you have a Government of Canada cheque worth $1,000.

It would cost you about $33 to cash it if the payday loan company charges you:

  • 2.99% of the value of the cheque, plus
  • $2.99 for each item you cash

This means that after fees, you'd only get about $967 instead of the full $1,000.
