Key Pain Points

Declining cheque usage -- long-term shrink in cheque volumes reduces market size and may limit growth beyond niche verticals.
Low technical barrier to entry -- basic cheque-printing features are easy to replicate, so defensibility depends on data, integrations, and compliance expertise.
Bank acceptance variability -- different banks have slightly different formatting/verification processes; failing to support these leads to rejections and churn.
