Accredited Cheque Printer

Pay.uk is responsible for the cheque clearing system and manages the regulatory standards and the cheque printer accreditation scheme. These standards have formed the basis for many country's cheque standards.   We work to each country's unique standards which we recognise and adapt our production to facilitate these needs. Pay.uk replaced the Cheque and Credit Clearing Company Limited (C&CCC), which was formally known as the Association for Payment Clearing Services  (APACS).
