Change to Payment Methods – Payment Via Cheque option ceases from January 1, 2024
We want to inform you of an important update regarding our payment options. The Australian federal government has been reviewing the way business is transacted across all industries with a view to improving financial security and reducing potential for fraud. One outcome of this review is that the government has instructed all banks to cease issuing cheque accounts and allowing the use of and banking of cheques for payment of invoices.
These changes are being phased in over the next few months and the timing of such changes is being driven by the banking industry. Action Insurance Brokers has been instructed by our banking partner to cease issuing or accepting company or personal cheques for payment of premiums or refunds. This change will take effect 1st January, 2024.
We understand that this change may impact some of our loyal clients who have been using cheques for their payments with us. We encourage you to take advantage of our alternate and convenient payment methods, which include:
