If you think you're paying too much to deposit checks, or the bank holds your converted funds for too long, why not ask your bank if they can do you a better deal? If they can see that you've been regularly depositing checks with no dramas (like half of them being returned) then they should be prepared to lower their "risk barrier" and treat you like a valued, loyal customer.

It probably helps if you have a major product with them such as a car or home loan, cash management account etc.

I started off paying a fee per check and waiting between 28 working days and 4-6 weeks. Now I get them cleared on the spot for a single fee per batch.

You'll never know unless you ask...
