Deposit Book Changes

We’re changing the way we process deposits for personal banking accounts through Commonwealth Bank branches.

As of 31 December 2022, we’ll no longer be able to accept cash or cheque deposits to your Bank First account through a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) branch.

This is due to our depositing service arrangements with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia changing.

Frequently asked questions

  • We understand that still being able to deposit cash and cheques into your Bank First account is important, which is why we have introduced a new depositing service Bank@Post Barcode Banking. The following options are also still available for cash and cheque deposits:

    • Using your Visa Debit Card at participating Australia Post offices. If you don't have a Visa Debit Card, you can complete an application.

    • By visiting one of our branches at Hawthorn East or Moonee Ponds.

    You can also make deposits into your account electronically by using your BSB and account number.

  • You can continue to deposit at a CBA branch up to and including 31 December 2022. Deposits at a CBA branch after this date will not be accepted.

  • We understand that this is a significant change to our Members who have used encoded deposit slips at Commonwealth Bank branches over many years.

    Considering the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we recognised there has been a change in the way we all bank.

    This means we have adapted to the changing environment and modernised our banking practices towards paperless, online and contactless methods of banking.

    These changes help us to focus on providing our Members with sustainable, efficient banking for your everyday needs.

  • You can also send and receive funds via Internet Banking or our Mobile Banking App

    You can make direct deposits either via standard transfers with a BSB and account number, by an Osko transfer or with a PayID. Osko and PayID transfers allow you to make and receive deposits in near real-time across banking institutions.
