Suncorp customers will no longer be able to deposit checks on their bills while Australia switches to online payment methods.
The bank, which has an estimated 1.2 million members, does not accept checks at bank branches, mail sales points or ATMs from Friday 14 February.
The payment method will be completely reduced from 1 March when checks can no longer be deposited from personal or business bank accounts.
Checks issued after 1 March will not be honored, but it is written before this date still processed by the bank.
Suncorp announced his customers on Friday about the changes on its website and in selected newspaper reports.
“The changes relate to upcoming changes to check deposits that are no longer available at Suncorp Bank and other related changes,” said the notification.
“Suncorp Bank orders customers to consider whether these changes will apply to their individual circumstances.”
The big bank said that the decision was not taken lightly, but added that it offered customers a new chance to update their payment methods.
