    Quite a few fixed rate bonds seem to only accept cheque deposits, which is a bit of a pain as cheques take so long to clear, online transfers are the best option nowadays so I agree with you that it is a nuisance!
    Not sure about making a deposit by debit card, but maybe they will just about accept the cheque at the branch :rotfl:
