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.
