Partial cheque payment

If you don’t have the full amount in your account, your beneficiary can request partial cheque payment

When to use this facility

If you’ve received a local bank cheque and the cheque payer doesn’t have sufficient funds in their account to cover the entire amount, you can partially encash the cheque until the full value is recovered.

There are no charges for partial cheque payment.
