New Accounts:

  • A foreign cheque deposit will not be accepted when opening a new account.
  • From 7th April 2023, we will no longer accept foreign cheque deposits or provide international drafts in any currency.

Existing Accounts:

  • From 30th June 2023, we will no longer accept foreign cheque deposits or provide international drafts in any currency.

Should you have an ongoing need for funds to be received from or sent to outside of Australia please refer international money transfers (IMT).
