With more Australians choosing simpler and safer digital banking options we have seen significant declines in cheque and phone banking use. Additionally, the Government has also mandated the phasing out of cheques by 2030.
You’ll still be able to call our Contact Centre, but for some services you won’t have to. To fully commit to this digital future, we have decided to farewell Phone Banking and Cheques (including cheque books, bank cheques and brand cheque deposits).
Phone Banking and Cheque services are no longer available from the below dates:
Here are some simple and safe easy ways to pay other than using Cheques or Phone Banking. We can help if you aren't sure what's best for you.

With improvements in payment services across the banking industry, we’re increasingly seeing customers choose digital options. The Australian Government announcing that cheque services won't be available beyond 2030, we are getting ahead of the change. We’re phasing out cheques at Qudos Bank starting 30th August 2024, for existing and new accounts. We understand this will come as a change for some and we’re here to do our best to help you bank in ways that suit you.
Cheque books: using your current cheque or requesting a new one
Bank cheques: requesting a bank cheque
Branch cheque deposits: depositing a cheque at Qudos Bank.
From the 30th of August 2024 Qudos Bank will no longer issue cheque books to members and outstanding cheques that have been written are required to be presented before 4th November 2024.
Up until 4th November 2024, a third party may deposit the cheque into their own bank, subject to their bank accepting cheques. After this date, if a third party tries to present a member cheque, the cheque will be dishonoured through the banks presentation process. A dishonour fee will be charged. If the third party presents at an Australia Post counter it will be stopped prior to depositing and the person will be advised to speak to the drawer of the cheque (our member). If by chance, Australia post accept this incorrectly, an APO dishonour fee will apply.
Members will no longer be able to purchase corporate (over the counter) cheques from Qudos Bank from 30 August 2024. If a corporate cheque is issued prior to 30 August, they should be encouraged to have their third party payee bank the cheque as soon as possible.
From 30th August 2024, new and replacement cheque books will no longer be available to order.
The customer will need to arrange a bank transfer either through Internet Banking or app. If it exceeds internet banking limits, members can transfer funds via a telegraphic transfer.
