    We finally got the cheque cashed. Took just over 8 weeks, but with Easter break and Covid-19 it wasn’t too bad a wait. Alas, CUA used the existing rate (.54) as at the time we deposited cheque the exchange rate was hovering around .50. All the best

    Hi All. Success with CUA. Just need to open account in Husband’s name only (as cheque will be payable to him. Apparently 6-8 week wait for clearance. It’s the usual wait. Not sure of fees but I’m sure there will be some. Thank you to all who responded. Now to wait for the actual cheque!

    Hi Marisa. Suncorp’s response From today, the 1st of March 2020, we will no longer accept cheques from the UK. This is due to a system change in the UK which no longer allows us to process these cheques. my husbands family live in UK I will check with other banks first The pension company are not very helpful Because Paul is getting a full payout they will only pay by cheque. If no success with any Australian banks we will contact Santander and ask if cheque can be made payable to third party It’s just so darn stressful It’s taken from late December 2019 just to get paperwork sent to us, sorted and sent back. I’ll let you know outcome. Could be helpful for other site members

    Hi Marisa. I must apologise for not thanking you for responding. I was feeling very stressed out by the whole thing, but that’s no excuse for my rudeness. Thank you

    Thank you for responding. Yes, it’s a private pension. Santander.

    We did. They said they could only pay by cheque

    Hi, I see that this is an old topic. I’ve just been advised by Suncorp Bank that from 1 March 2020 they can no longer accept UK cheque’s. does anyone know how we can deposit my husbands pension cheque which we expect in the mail soon ? It’s all very frustrating

    My case is the opposite to you Judyq.... I regret moving back to Australia... Ah well, we are all different... All the best, I hope you and your family get what you want...

    I am Australian born and my husband is British ... Lived in the UK for over three years...missed my family and we moved here (big sacrifice for my hubby as he's a proud Brit).. But I never really wanted to move back, the pull of my family was too great and I do (privately) feel angry that my family(esp my mother) used the "guilt" move on me.... And still do... Both parents are elderly and mother is not very well at all.... If I could resist my family and we had the money, we'd move back to the UK in a flash... The weather here (summer) is horrendous... The heat is unbearable.... It's true what you say...there's no sense of history here...understandable as it's only a young country... But it has no charm (in my eyes)... It takes forever to get from a to b.... You can't go for "walks" as it's too hot and humid and the "countryside" is harsh and unappealing... To each their own I say, but give me the UK over Australia any day...
