Habib Bank AG Zurich's UAE cheque is 202 x 93 mm, identical in size to Emirates NBD's. That 202 x 93 footprint turns up repeatedly across the Gulf — it is also used by National Bank of Kuwait, Bank Dhofar, Commercial Bank of Qatar and Al Rajhi, and it is the same size as the standard Indian cheque.

A common size is not a shared layout
Because so many banks use 202 x 93, it is tempting to treat those layouts as interchangeable. They are not — each one places the date, payee and amount fields where that bank prints them. Select the Habib Bank AG Zurich layout specifically.
Where the shared size does help is with paper handling: once you have your printer feeding a 202 x 93 leaf reliably, the same tray setup and margins carry over to any other bank at that size. If you print for several banks, that is a real time saver.
Configuring the cheque book
- Add the account under Habib Bank AG Zurich.
- Create a cheque book and select its layout.
- Test on plain paper. If you already print Emirates NBD cheques successfully, your existing margins are likely to work unchanged.
