Information about donating by Cheque

The Salvation Army can no longer be able to accept donations via cheque as of 01/07/21. As about 40% of our donations currently come via cheque, we want to work with you, our donors, to find an alternative way to donate that works for you.

We greatly appreciate your support, and we understand that this may be a difficult time for many of our donors. Your peace of mind is one of our top priorities, so we endeavour to make the transition as smooth as possible. The Salvation Army offers our donors multiple different ways to ensure they can continue to support New Zealanders in need:

• Call your bank's 0800 number - you can ask your bank to make a one-off payment or set up a monthly donation to The Salvation Army. (Please note, there will be wait times and security protocol for banking over the phone). Ask for your Supporter Number to be quoted as the reference code.
