From 1 June 2021, HDC will no longer accept cheques as payment for publications. All major banks in New Zealand are phasing out cheques as a payment option. HDC's bank is no longer accepting cheques from late June 2021. If we receive your cheque by 1 June, there will be enough time for it to be processed before our bank no longer accepts cheques. We continue to welcome payments by direct credit into our bank account.
