The use of cheques has been declining in the last 10 years and more Australians are switching to digital solutions to accept and make payments that are faster and more reliable. We’re here to help support and encourage you to consider moving to alternate ways to make payments.

We understand that this is a significant change to our Members who have used encoded deposit slips at Commonwealth Bank branches over many years.
Considering the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we recognised there has been a change in the way we all bank.
This means we have adapted to the changing environment and modernised our banking practices towards paperless, online and contactless methods of banking.
These changes help us to focus on providing our Members with sustainable, efficient banking for your everyday needs.
You can also send and receive funds via Internet Banking or our Mobile Banking App.
You can make direct deposits either via standard transfers with a BSB and account number, by an Osko transfer or with a PayID. Osko and PayID transfers allow you to make and receive deposits in near real-time across banking institutions.
