I have been recieving checks from the US from an ad network for the last 3 years. I normally put them in the same bank and they clear within 3-5 working days no problem
A couple of days ago I pay the same check into the bank and expect it to be cleared within the same period as usual.
So I then find out out that the check is now gonna take up to a month to clear cause they are sending it back to the US to verify it. I tell them that this is from the same company that have been sending me checks for years and have always cleared but they wont have it.
So I say well why cant you phone the company or verify it electronically, to which they say "its not company policy to verify checks in that way"
Im like WTF iv been using the bank for around 5 years and always pay in the same checks and have never had problems with them before now all this bullshit
