The Canada Post strike, which began on November 15, 2024, has caused significant disruptions for businesses that rely on paper-based payments and correspondence. As of this writing, approximately $150 million in paper cheque payments remain stuck in transit, with the figure continuing to grow as the strike persists. These delays have left businesses grappling with cash flow issues, overdue accounts receivable, and strained vendor relationships.

This ongoing disruption highlights the vulnerabilities of relying on manual, paper-based processes for critical financial operations. Delayed or lost payments not only hinder cash flow but also increase administrative costs, forcing businesses to seek more reliable solutions.
