Cheque Banking Security
Every day, our customers write out thousands of cheques to debit their Wide Bay Australia accounts.
You can help us to minimise the risk of cheque fraud by exercising the following cautions in the operation of your Wide Bay Australia Cheque Book or Counter Cheque:
- Always keep your cheque book in a safe place
- Do not leave signed blank cheques in your cheque book
- Ensure no gaps in words or numbers when writing cheques
- Ensure the cheque is fully completed – especially the drawer’s name and the amount
- If a cheque or your cheque book is stolen, lost or misused contact us by phone as soon as possible and follow up in writing
- Limit cheque book availability to authorised employees.
- Regularly reconcile cheques drawn on your account
- If you wish to cancel a Personal Cheque or a Counter Cheque for any reason, contact us as soon as possible, to arrange a Stop Payment.
