A ridiculous price --I think my teen aged son was charged over $22 to get some cheques printed when he open a teenager account.

I just looked on a website known for cost savings deals and some posters were saying their bank used to charge $25, but now charges $40 (for 200). A company called Davis+Henderson seems to be the main one used by Canadian chartered banks.

(PS-my bank charges me zero, but I write very few cheques per year...usually a gift to someone, or the odd home repair)
