Just curious what other Aussie webmasters are paying in transaction fees on foreign cheques these days ?

Aussie Rebel · 06-19-2011, 02:50 PM

I'm with Westpac and pay $20 per check and they cash them the same day, if the checks are all from one place. like ccbill, it's only $20 to cash all of them and $9 for wires.

cheers

St George charge $10.50 , funny considering they are owned by Westpac.

georgeyw · 06-19-2011, 03:04 PM

$10 per cheque - commonwealth bank.

AdultKing · 06-19-2011, 03:06 PM

$10 bucks fee, US Dollar value, makes these cheques less and less enjoyable

Ain't that the truth.

Also since the epassporte debacle, the number of cheques from different co's has increased

I'm with ANZ and have used various branches and find it can often vary from branch to branch. It is supposed to be $15 per check. My local branch will do several for $15 total and the manager put a note on my account so every teller knows it apparently.

I was doing the same for a while, but new manager and tellers and it all became too hard.

The branch I go to now is good. Same three or four girls and they all know me now... I see the mock dread on their faces when my ticket number comes up and they see me with 6 checks in hand.

Zorgman · 06-19-2011, 05:17 PM

St George will do 1 for $10.50 or 3 for $15.20

Nurgle · 06-19-2011, 05:18 PM

Yeah they scramble to be the one to NOT serve you

It still amazes me at just how much paper work there is for a single cheque - absolutely insane.

How do you access the money? Are the cheques cleared instantly?

And how does someone in the farflung antipodes get a US$ account with NAB?

Calico Jack · 06-19-2011, 06:31 PM

Westpac, 6 cheques for $20. Negotiated this with the manager and I've had this deal for years.

xholly · 06-19-2011, 07:00 PM

currently ive let my cheques build up for a bit, I got 8 sitting here now and im a little embarrassed to take em all in at once, its going to take ages to process em all. I used to flirt with the teller who was cute but haven't seen her for ages

how do I get a $US acct at the NAB?

Horny Guy · 06-19-2011, 07:27 PM

3 for $10 at NAB ...cleared on the spot ...all depends on who you see at the banks and how many a month you do

papill0n · 06-19-2011, 08:17 PM

used to be 10$ but now nothing

you really have to know your bank staff if you dont want a headache every single time you try to deposit a cheque

Aka_Bluey · 06-19-2011, 09:49 PM

Wespac - 10 cheques for $20, cleared on the spot, had the same deal for a few years. And the bank staff run and hide if the see me walk in with cheques in hand, lol, the amount of paper work they have to do.
