Ways to pay
Generally, all invoices must be settled no later than the 20th day of the month following the invoice date. Payment in advance is required for new customers or if your account is overdue.
By direct bank transfer
You will find CAB's bank account details at the bottom of your invoice. When paying by direct bank transfer please ensure you quote the invoice number(s) in the 'Reference' box or send remittance advice. Without this we can't match your payment to your account.
By credit card
We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. To pay by credit card, download and return the fax payment form.
Alternatively, you can write the credit card details on the invoice, sign it and fax it back to us on
+64 7 373 2912. We need the credit card number, expiry date and name on the card.By cheque
Please post your cheque and the remittance advice to Accounts Department, Commercial Approvals Bureau, PO Box 1298, Shortland Street, Auckland 1140, New Zealand.
By international money transfer
You will find our bank account number, SWIFT code and BSB number at the bottom of your invoice. However, we would prefer you pay by credit card as it is faster and cheaper for all involved.
Overdue accounts and unpaid invoices
We reserve the right to withdraw approval for commercials if the invoice is more that 30 days overdue. Once approval has been withdrawn the commercial cannot be broadcast in New Zealand.
