Bank cheques

Bank cheques can be used for large one-off purchases, so you don't have to carry cash around and the person you’re paying will have more certainty that the cheque will clear. They’re also great if you don’t have a cheque book and need to pay someone with a cheque.

Features

  • The money comes out of your account straight away
  • Ideal when you don’t want to pay in cash or if you don’t have a cheque book
  • The person you’re paying will have more certainty that your cheque payment will clear (eg large Trade Me purchases)
  • Good alternative to carrying large amounts of cash
