The electronic cheque (e-Cheque) is an electronic counterpart of the paper cheque and turns the cheque writing and deposit processes completely online, with a number of new strengths: no need for physical delivery and presentment, more stringent security features, a high level of system automation, and more environmentally friendly.
Following the launch of e-Cheque service in Hong Kong on 7 December 2015, the cross-boundary e-Cheque service has been introduced on 20 July 2016. Bank customers in Hong Kong can issue HK Dollar, US Dollar and RMB e-Cheques and deposit online with banks in Hong Kong, Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
