Pay your bills by cheque or choose other more efficient and cheaper ways by
setting up automatic payments, Business Online banking, telephone banking and direct credits or debits  
arranging multiple payments via DeskBank. They’re fast, easy and very efficient  
arranging your collections via direct debits or using EFTPOS/credit card merchant facilities.  
You decide the way you want to bank
Stay in control by
choosing the day of the month you want to pay your account maintenance charge and transaction fees  
deciding how often you want to receive your account statements – from every day to every six months. This means at-a-glance information on all your transactions, charges, reward rebates and overdraft interest (if this applies).
