Removing cheques as payment option
All major banks within New Zealand are removing the use of cheques as a payment option, including Wellington City Councils’ bank, ANZ, which isn’t accepting cheques from 31st May onwards.
From Thursday 1st April onwards, Wellington City Council will no longer accept cheques as a payment option for any of our services. This will give us time to make sure all cheques received are processed ahead of the banks deadline.
Don’t worry, there are still some easy ways you can pay for our services:
💳 Set up a Direct Debit for Rates Payments online or by paper form available at our service centre
💵 Direct Credit into Account 06-0582-0106111-00 for services invoice payments
💻 Online at www.wcc.govt.nz...
💳 Credit card (surcharge will apply)
🖐️ In person at New Zealand Post (cash or EFTPOS)
☎️ Internet or Phone banking with your bank
For help on any of the above, please get in touch with your bank.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
