Why hold it for longer? Cause if it turns out to be a phony check and they give you the money, they take a loss.
A phony check can clear, and then 2 weeks later it may turn up that the funds in the other account were phony (bad check, empty envelope deposit in an atm).
so like i said, it all boils down to the bank's trust in you.
as for an international check taking 5 days to clear, i don't agree with that... unless you worked for a US bank and things are different down there.
