Writing and Signing an Electronic Cheque

From the Account Management submenu, click the Electronic Cheque radio button, then click Submit. A blank electronic cheque will appear.

Double-click the $ field to highlight the 0.00 amount. This is where you type the amount of the cheque.

Note
The amount that you enter must not be larger than the value shown in the not to exceed field.

The optional Memo field lets you add a 15-character comment about the electronic cheque. Whatever you type here will appear in your Chequebook (see EFT Payments). This feature improves the Electronic Cheque and EFT transfer options by allowing you to instantly monitor your deposits to BC OnLine.

When you are finished, click Update $ Amount. The system fills out the rest of the cheque and prompts you to sign it.

To sign the cheque, click the Sign Cheque button in the BC OnLine button bar. Your BC OnLine userid and name (your “signature”) appears in the lower-right hand corner of the cheque.

At this point, you can either send the cheque to BC OnLine or void the cheque. The following page describes sending and voiding cheques in detail.
