What is a void cheque?

A void cheque is a copy of a cheque that is used to share your banking information with a third party. For example, to your employer so they can deposit your pay directly into your account. Or, to a service provider or lender so they can withdraw money from your checking account to make your monthly payments (car loan, telecom bill, etc.).

Your void cheque, whether from Desjardins or another financial institution, contains the following information:

  • 5-digit transit number (or identification number)
  • 3-digit institution number
  • Account number (number of digits may vary from one financial institution to another) or Caisse folio
  • Name and address of financial institution

What Is a Transit Number?

The transit number (or identification number) is made up of 5 digits. It represents the bank branch number. When combined with the 3-digit institution number and the account number (variable number of digits), it enables precise identification of the bank account.

What Is an Institutional Number?

The institution number is a 3-digit number representing the financial institution. It is located after the transit number (or identification number) at the bottom of the cheque. For Caisses Desjardins Québec, the 3-digit institution number is 815.
