ELECTRONIC PAYMENT vs
TRADITIONAL CHEQUES
|
|
In order to reduce the stress
and loss of post-mailed cheques, royalty payments from 2015 will be
made via interbank transfer (where possible).
Hence, we will be progressively updating member
records so that eventually, there will no longer be a need for members
to receive their royalty cheques in the mail and then find the time to
deposit the physical cheque into their bank account.
Members who wish to update their bank details, may
do so by downloading the form HERE ¡Þ
