What is a void cheque?
A void cheque is a copy of a cheque used to share your banking information with a third party. For example, with your employer so it can deposit your pay directly into your account. Or with a service provider or a lender so it can withdraw money from your chequing account to cover your monthly payments (car loan, telecom bill, etc.).
Your void cheque, whether it comes from Desjardins or another financial institution, contains the following information:
- Five-digit transit number (or identification number)
- Three-digit institution number
- Account number (the number of digits can vary from one financial institution to another) or caisse folio number
- Name and address of the financial institution
What is a transit number?
The transit number (or identification number) has five digits. It corresponds to the number of the bank branch. Combined with the three-digit institution number and the account number (which has a variable number of digits), it identifies a bank account precisely.
What is an institution number?
The institution number has three digits and corresponds to the number of the financial institution. It appears after the transit number (or identification number) at the bottom of the cheque. For Desjardins caisses in Quebec, the three-digit institution number is 815.
