Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do with leftover cheques?

Any leftover cheques can be destroyed. You don’t need to return these to us. Here are some ways that you can securely destroy unused cheques:

Tear off the signature section

  • Start your tear from just left of the ‘OR BEARER’ text, close to the middle of the cheque
  • Dispose of the signature and cheque sections separately.

Shred the entire chequebook

  • If you have access to a paper shredder, simply shred the entire chequebook!

Write ‘CANCEL’ all over the chequebook

  • You can render a chequebook void by simply writing the word ‘CANCEL’ on each individual cheque.

Be sure to retain any cheque stubs for cheques you have written for your records.
