Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is an Australian version of a UK Bankers draft?
(that is already cleared and is almost like cash?)

I'm selling my furniture and the buyer would like to pay by cheque.

Cheers!

Yep, same thing - a bank cheque. Banks roughly charge about $10 to provide one.

Thanks very much, but is it just called a "bank cheque" then? How do you distinguish it from a normal cheque that takes 5 days to clear?

SamSi

I've always called it a bank cheque, not sure if they go by another name here. You can easily recognise it as it's a bespoke printed cheque with a perforated top - looks the same as a bankers draft so larger than a personal cheque and it has all the usual guarantee of funds etc on the reverse side.

Great. Very helpful - thanks.

I thought the title was "Australian Bankers DAFT?" to which the answer is of course yes.

Happy to change the title if you like to start a new thread
