What will happen to my Laurentian Bank business cheques following the migration to National Bank?

You can continue using your existing Laurentian Bank cheques for 6 months following the migration. Drawn cheques on Laurentian Bank business current accounts and presented for payment during this period will be accepted and paid from your National Bank account.

After 6 months, your Laurentian Bank cheques will no longer be valid, and you’ll need to use National Bank cheques for your transactions.

As part of our welcome offer, your business’s first order of eligible cheques will be offered free of charge (up to a maximum of $200) as long as the order is placed before May 31, 2027. 

After the migration, you can order cheques directly from your online banking for business account. To order eligible cheques covered under the welcome offer, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your online banking for business account.
2. In the left menu, select Other services, and click on Order cheques.
3. Make sure to choose the language, number of signature lines, decide between 1 or 2 cheques to a page, and select an order of 200 cheques or less.
4. Confirm order.

You will see the full cost of the cheque purchase, but it will not be charged to the account as long as eligible cheques were ordered. Avoid adding any comments to your online cheque order as it could cause processing delays.The amount of your order will be invoiced to National Bank. If there's been a mistake and you have been charged for the cheques, please call at at 1-844-394-4494, Monday to Friday, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET).

Cheques can also be ordered by calling National Bank at 1-844-394-4494, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. (ET)

To help avoid interruptions, we recommend ordering your new National Bank cheques after the migration.
