Cheque changes for business accounts

Australia's payment landscape is changing. Cheques are being phased out as customers choose faster, more secure ways to do their banking. To support this, we’re making changes to our business cheque book offering.

What’s changing?

From 3 May 2025

If you have not ordered a cheque book on your business account, you will no longer be able to order one.

This change does not apply to the following account types:

If you have previously ordered a cheque book on your business account, you can re-order one by contacting your ANZ Manager, calling us on 1800 351 663, Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm Sydney/Melbourne time, or visiting your nearest ANZ branch with teller services.

For all business accounts, you will no longer be able to order or re-order a cheque book through ANZ Internet Banking, ANZ Internet Banking for Business, or ANZ Transactive. This includes ANZ Business Essentials and ANZ Statutory Trust accounts. For more information on these platforms, see Online Banking Solutions.
