“In alignment with our strategy to expand in Payments and Data, this acquisition marks a continued investment across our B2B payments portfolio,” said Barry McCarthy, President and CEO of Deluxe. “By bringing together the strengths of CheckMatch and DPN, we are building the largest purpose-built digital lockbox network in the market—delivering value through scale, security, and simplicity in competition with traditional offerings.”
Deluxe has already more than doubled the number of lockboxes accessible through DPN in the first half of 2025. Once integration of CheckMatch is completed—the combined platform is expected to include five of the top 10 U.S.-based lockbox providers and multiple leading disbursement partners, including financial institutions, AP automation platforms, and a major medical payments provider.
"We are thrilled to see CheckMatch become an integral part of a larger vision that embodies our shared commitment of bringing next-gen innovation to the world of finance and delivering exceptional value for our clients," said Umar Farooq, Global Co-Head of J.P. Morgan Payments. "We are confident that Deluxe is well-positioned to elevate CheckMatch to the next level and will ensure a seamless transition."
Check payments remain a critical component of the B2B payments ecosystem, particularly for large enterprises, financial institutions, and disbursement partners. This expanded inter-lockbox network delivers meaningful cost savings by eliminating postage, envelopes, labor, handling, and physical check costs for payors—including major bill pay platforms and financial institutions.
For payees, the process remains virtually unchanged. Payments follow the same well-established lockbox protocols, but are now delivered digitally—streamlining operations without disrupting treasury workflows. By digitizing the delivery of check payments, the network simplifies reconciliation, improves reliability, and helps treasurers manage payments with greater speed and confidence.
As the network scales, participants will benefit from increased efficiency and growing value through shared infrastructure and reach.
