One nice thing about banking in NZ is that it's entirely possible to never have to write a cheque. With EFTPOS, a credit card and Internet banking, I only write about 1 or 2 cheques a month -- which could easily drop to zero after just a little more effort on my part.
That makes accounts like the ASB Streamline pretty attractive, I think (although it's normally free, they do charge a $3 per cheque service fee).
