The cheque scanner is a one-time required hardware purchase and is available through FirstOntario’s selected vendor, Paystation. You can review pricing details and order a cheque scanner by visiting Paystation.ca/CreativeArtsFinancial. Once ordered, your cheque scanner should arrive in 2 – 3 business days.
Based on feedback and industry trends, FirstOntario recommends one low speed scanner that is suitable for most businesses and three higher speed scanner options for higher volume businesses. The primary consideration for model choice will be the per-unit cost weighed against the need for higher processing speeds, determined mainly by assessing cheque volumes.
