Options for payment of money to the RAOTC

Note – RAOTC has changed banks! (24/08/22)

There are now three options for paying money to the RAOTC such as membership subscriptions, luncheons, or for ‘OTN on Disc’ DVDs, etc:

Cheque or Australian Money Order (AMO) in the mail
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) via Internet banking
Cash over the counter at any Bendigo Bank Branch
The new EFT and ‘cash over the counter’ options have been introduced for members’ convenience. However, payment guidelines must be followed correctly and members must retain proof of payment to facilitate resolution of any queries should they arise.

For payment of membership subscription, check the address fly sheet that came with your latest copy of OTN. It will show your membership status and your Membership Number. Check page 2 of OTN to ascertain the most recent subscription rates and decide how much you are going to pay. After payment, either by cash over the counter or by EFT, send details of the payment either by mail to the RAOTC at PO Box 107, Mentone VIC 3194 or by email to :

For payment of luncheon fees, obtain your Membership Number and the amount you wish to pay from the luncheon invitation letter. After payment the luncheon RSVP must be returned by post or email with details of the payment.

For purchase of an ‘OTN on Disc’ DVD or payment of any other monies, obtain your Membership Number from the list of members in OTN, and the amount you need to pay from an advertisement in OTN or from the RAOTC web site at < raotc.org.au >. After payment, the DVD order must be sent to the RAOTC by post or email with details of the payment.

For a new application for membership of the RAOTC, please indicate the amount you are paying on the application form and:
(1) If paying by cash over the counter at a Bendigo Bank Branch use your Callsign only in the Reference box.
(2) If paying by Electronic Funds Transfer simply enter your Callsign only in uppercase in the Transaction Details or Account Description box.

Cash over the counter at any Bendigo Bank Branch

Fill out a Bendigo Bank deposit slip (where used), or explain to the teller the following details
(1) In the ‘Account/Plastic Card Number’ box enter the BSB number 633000, leave a space and then enter the account number 195768379. It must be these numbers!
(2) In the ‘Customer/Account Name’ box enter RAOTC.
(3) In the ‘Reference’ box enter your Callsign followed by your Membership Number. This is most important! New members leave Membership Number blank.

    For example: VK3XYZ 2345

(4) Request a customer receipt. This is a printout from the teller’s computer system. Keep the customer receipt as a record of your payment of monies to the RAOTC.

Electronic funds transfer via internet banking

Go into Internet Banking on your computer and select the account from which you wish to make the Funds Transfer. Do NOT select a Credit Card account!!

In the ‘Transfer Money’ screen enter the following data:
(1) In the Account Name box to which the funds are to be transferred, enter RAOTC.
(2) In the BSB box enter the number 633000. It must be this number!
(3) In the Account Number box enter the number 195768379. Again, it must be this number!
(4) In the Amount box enter the amount you wish to pay.
(5) In the Transaction Details or Account Description box enter your Callsign in uppercase, then a space, then your Membership Number. New members leave Membership Number blank

For example: VK3XYZ  2345   

(6) If your bank provides for it, in the Transaction Details, Remitter Name box enter your name
or initials.

(Although your bank’s data input screen may differ slightly from the instructions above, you should have no difficulty in interpreting the instructions to suit. The important issue is getting the RAOTC name and account details correct, as well as your callsign and membership number.)
