ask to speak to your bank manager.
Tell him "look i understand you have certain rules , but you and me both know you can verify and collect on american checks instantly there is zero risk , your teller just has to walk over there punch in the numbers and voila., i have spoken with "competition bank" and they said they will have no problems cashing my american checks instantly, this isn't a threat its just common sense, you wouldn't wait a month for your paycheck would you ? I have no choice but to switch banks unless you can cash my checks in a more effecient matter.
Banks only lose out because they save money by pooling american checks together to cash at the end of the week and thus some of them will not be valid by then.
