Singapore's cheques fall neatly into two groups. ChequeMaster covers six banks across two sizes, all of them using boxed date digits and two amount-in-words lines.
| Bank | Size |
|---|---|
| DBS Bank | 183 x 93 mm |
| POSB Bank | 183 x 93 mm |
| OCBC Bank | 183 x 93 mm |
| United Overseas Bank (UOB) | 183 x 93 mm |
| Maybank Singapore | 178 x 90 mm |
| HSBC Singapore | 178 x 90 mm |
DBS and POSB share a size for a reason
POSB is part of DBS, and their cheques are the same size. They still have separate layouts in ChequeMaster because the printed design differs — select by the name on your cheque book.
HSBC Singapore is not HSBC Qatar
Worth stating because it catches people with accounts in both. HSBC in Qatar uses a 175 x 80 mm cheque with a single date field. HSBC in Singapore uses 178 x 90 mm with boxed date digits. Same bank, different country, genuinely different cheque — pick the layout by country as well as by bank.
Boxed dates need the left margin right
All six Singaporean layouts use separate date boxes, so the left margin is the setting that matters. Print to plain A4, hold it against a real leaf, and check that each digit sits inside its box rather than on a division. Adjust in half-millimetre steps in Settings.
Singapore dollar settings
SGD takes two decimal places. Set the amount-in-words unit to million — Singapore uses the international convention, so SGD 1,250,000 reads One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars.
Two sizes, two margin setups
If you bank with more than one Singaporean institution, you will need at most two margin configurations — one for the 183 x 93 group and one for the 178 x 90 pair. Work each out once and note the values; switching between them is faster than rediscovering them.
