Clubs New Zealand no longer able to accept payment by cheque

4 February 2021

The demise of cheques has long been foreshadowed, last year ACC and Inland Revenue announced they would no longer be accepting cheques and now in 2021 many banks are moving to phase cheques out entirely.

Clubs New Zealand's bank is one of those to announce that the use of cheques as a payment method will be discontinued this year. As a result of this Clubs New Zealand will no longer be able to accept cheques as a form of payment from clubs.

We realise that this may cause concern for some clubs, if your club still uses cheques as a payment method we recommend you talk to your bank as soon as possible to talk through the different ways to pay that meet the clubs payment policies and constitution.

You can also contact Michelle Mazey on 0800 425 827 or email michelle@clubsnz.com to discuss the different payment options we accept here at Clubs New Zealand.
