A question for Non-US webmasters....
 

Just Curious, How much does your bank charge you to deposit a US check? :upsidedow

around 5-7 USD

Montreal Canada..

I have 2 accounts with different banks...both charge $0 ...one cashes them instantly ( on the basis if it gets returned I have to pay the amount back ) the other places a 30 day hold on the funds.....

near 7 USD, and i receive money in 30d

Nothing in Canada if you have a US dollar account with them, ho hold time either. I deposit it into my US dollar account then transfer to my chequing as I need it.

0$ and I get the money instantly

It was so long ago I don't even remember :)
ePassporte all the way :thumbsup

12$ per currency

About 30 euro

That excludes the money most affliate programs charge to send a check...

12.5 euros

$10 + -

I get 7 cheques (checks) banked for $20 Australian.

22 dollars

Around $20

About £10 per 'time' for me. I just hand in the checks, either 1 or 2 or a year ago, 20 or more, and they do it all for me.

Doesn't matter how many diff checks from how many diff companies. Its a 'per visit' kinda thing.

No charge, but a 30 day hold... Easier just to deposit into my US account whenever I make a trip.

My US bank is coming out with a scan-and-deposit tool for internet banking which is kind of cool.

nothing .. in Can or US account ...

minimum of 3eur, but its more if cheques is higher than few hundred (percentage then is counted)

Around 30$ plus a percentage or two for the conversion from $ to €.

Foreigners can open checking accounts in the USA. Why cash them in the EU, anyhow?

My retarded bank just started charging 30 Euros for one check. I have not noticed it and cashed $25 CCBill check (I take them about 6 weeks to cash it). So I end up with loosing money on this one :)

it was a lot... since then i use only epass :thumbsup

not even worth it here in phuket, TH. 45 day+ wait, passport copies, many forms, etc.

Fuckers charge me like 35-40euros and thats because they are "being nice". Normally it can be as high as 140euro for the bigger ones..
sucks donkey kong

Canadian here, they don't charge me anything. If its a cheque from a new company, they hold it for 15 days. Otherwise it's usually within a day or two.

My bank used to let me accumulate checks and then charge me $7 per batch, and clear them at once. Then I had a big check bounce on me so they changed the rules..
Now its around $10 each and 6 weeks wait.

Although some checks can cost a fortune to cash. And others, Canadian banks with USD amounts, my bank wont even cash them anymore.

Now I just get wires.

£25 per visit to the bank. As many cheques as you have.

Which bank is that?

what about ccbill?

Which bank?

I used to get unlimited cheques for zero fee at Westpac, with immediate clearance...
Then it changed to unlimited for $15
Then it changed to $15 per 4 cheques
Then it changed to $20 per 4 cheques with no more immediate clearance ($35 for the big ones)

Bugger that.

1% of the check amount - min. 1 EUR

Around 25$ and a 21 days waiting time.

I haven't deposited a check in like 5 years but when I did It used to be around $13 per check and 7 day's hold on the money.

it cost me 2.5$ or 1%, what is bigger

A % and that amount usually depends on how much you have in their bank.

Haven't done it for a while but it was around $10-15 for unlimited cheques in the UK.

Flat fee of about $5 and additional time for clearing.

But it's still way, way better solution than trying to get a wire.

It used be nothing,now they charge 8$,and 12$ for bigger amounts like 1000$.

Thanks for all the replies! :pimp

$0, dont know many banks here in canada that charge

Epassporte, baby!

depends on bank, usualy from 10 to 35 euros

12 Euros each deposit (max 5 checks at a time)


epassporte :thumbsup

Foreigners can open it ... on american soil. You have to go there in order to open it.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Man, that 30 day hold sounds like such a bitch! With everything being electronic, they should technically be able to verify funds instantly, hmph!

They can ... but more profits ( interest ) is generated by holding ...

Im in Argentina...
Between 3-7usd if the check is less than usd 2,500 and I get the money instantly
If the check is +2,500 I pay a small %, and they can delay the payment upto 40 days!

No charge at my Canadian bank. My US bank charges $10 to receive a wire deposit.
