It took me a couple of switches, but I've found a bank that treats me well... I'm in Australia and they'll convert my USD cheques (ie 'foreign') on the spot. No funds withholding at all, or any conditions such as minimum balance. The only cheque that has ever bounced is the rubber globill one, and that hasn't affected my standing with them. (phew)
The strange thing is that an Australian cheque will still take 3 days to clear, while I get paid on the spot for international ones... they even ask if I would like cash!
