International cheque2

  • You post the cheque to the person you’re paying
  • It’s ideal if they don’t need the money in a hurry
  • They have to deposit the cheque into a bank account, so make sure they have an account in the country you’re sending it to
  • You simply order the cheque at your local BNZ store and the next business day it will be delivered to a store of your choice
