Deluxe Corporation
Deluxe Corporation is an American company that provides payment processing, data services, checks and promotional products, and merchant services. It operates in four divisions: B2B payments, data, print, and merchant services. As of 2025, the company serves millions of small businesses and thousands of financial institutions, processing more than $2.8 trillion in payments annually. According to its May 6, 2026 earnings call, 51% of the company's revenue is generated by its payments and data divisions.
Founded in 1915 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Deluxe relocated its headquarters to downtown Minneapolis in 2021. The company operates facilities in the United States and Canada for production, fulfillment, and administrative functions.
Deluxe Corporation was founded in 1915 as Deluxe Check Printers by William Roy (W.R.) Hotchkiss after obtaining a $300 personal loan. Hotchkiss patented several printing innovations, including the Hotchkiss Imprinting Press (1925) and the Hotchkiss Lithograph Press (1928), as well as the first personal flat-pocket checkbook and holder. For much of its early history, Deluxe operations focused exclusively on check printing, with business services added later.
In 1965, Deluxe became a publicly traded company and adopted magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) technology for check printing. By the 1980s, competition in the check printing industry increased, and demand for printed checks began to slow. In 1988, the company simplified the name to Deluxe Corporation.
The adoption of electronic payment systems in the 1990s reduced demand for printed checks, prompting Deluxe to diversify. The company began selling business forms, promotional products, and payroll services, and in the late 1990s and early 2000s acquired firms to expand transaction processing and software capabilities.
In 2004, Deluxe acquired New England Business Services (NEBS), a small business products provider. In 2008, Deluxe announced a strategic shift from primarily print products to a broader business services portfolio. Acquisitions during this period included Hostopia (web hosting), Logo Mojo (logo design), PartnerUp (market intelligence), and MerchEngines (search engine marketing).
Deluxe continued to diversify by acquiring many companies in areas including marketing, payroll, and digital services. Purchases included online printing service PsPrint, marketing firm OrangeSoda, email marketing platform VerticalResponse (2014), and transaction processor Wausau Financial Services (2014). The company also began offering electronic check (eCheck) solutions.
In 2015, Deluxe launched Small Business Revolution, a reality television series distributed on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, highlighting small business stories.
