(2) The deposit may be made either—
(a)by the deposit of any legal tender, or
(b)by means of a banker's draft, or
(c)with the police area returning officer's consent, in any other manner (including by means of a debit or credit card or the electronic transfer of funds),
but the police area returning officer may refuse to accept a deposit sought to be made by means of a banker's draft if the officer does not know that the drawer carries on a business as a banker in the United Kingdom.
