Why is AMP Bank discontinuing cheque services?
Over the past two decades, the banking landscape in Australia has changed as banking technology advances and customers transition towards digital transactions. With cheques now in steady decline and accounting for only 0.1 per cent of all payments across the Australian payment landscape, more and more payment service providers are moving away from cheque processing.
As a digital bank, we have made a decision to phase out cheques and instead focus on providing our customers with faster, reliable digital services to fulfill their payment needs.

When you bank with us, you can access your funds in many ways. This includes internet banking using your desktop, mobile app using your smartphone or tablet, PayID, AMP Visa Debit Card and BPAY. More information about ways to bank can be found above.
