Vikar and Deluxe team up to streamline check ordering for banks

Vikar Technologies and Deluxe Corporation have partnered to embed payment capabilities into Vikar’s account-opening platform for financial institutions. The integration is designed to cut manual data entry and make check ordering faster for bank and credit union employees.

Why it matters: - The integration is meant to reduce duplicate data entry during account opening and check ordering. - Financial institutions can complete more of the process in one workflow, which can lower delays and reduce errors. - The partnership extends Vikar’s platform beyond account opening into payment setup and follow-up tasks.

What happened: - Vikar Technologies announced a partnership with Deluxe Corporation on Oct. 6, 2026. - The companies integrated Deluxe Payments directly into Vikar’s account-opening solution. - The setup is aimed at financial institutions using Vikar’s platform. - A LinkedIn page for Vikar is available here: Vikar on LinkedIn.

The details: - The integration pre-fills forms for the financial institution and the client. - The system reduces manual data entry when establishing an account and ordering checks. - Employees can order checks or set up other payment methods at any point in the client relationship. - Vikar said the workflow is designed to create a simpler, one-and-done process for employees. - Deluxe said the integration creates a better way to complete orders. - Vikar’s platform already covers consumer and commercial account opening, lending, underwriting, KYC/KYB, compliance, treasury and wealth management. - Vikar says the platform is built to support complex commercial relationships and integrates with core banking systems and fintech partners.

Between the lines: - The deal fits a broader push by financial technology vendors to compress multiple back-office steps into a single digital workflow. - For banks and credit unions, fewer handoffs can improve speed and reduce operational risk. - For Deluxe, the partnership expands distribution by reaching institutions already using Vikar for account opening and lending.

What's next: - Vikar and Deluxe will market the integrated workflow to financial institutions that want a simpler way to order checks and set up payment methods. - The companies are positioning the integration as part of a broader effort to improve client servicing after account opening. - Vikar’s website is available here: Learn more about Vikar. - Deluxe’s website is available here: Learn more about Deluxe.
