US Bank will cash this check if you have a account with them. I have cashed all sorts of forms of money through this bank from quite a few different countries with no problems....\nNeed to find a good bank....Good Luck!

A currency exchange, and yes there will be a fee.  A bank that you don't belong can charge a fee, but I don't believe they all do!  There are even grocery stores that you can cash checks and money orders, with a fee.

Your question is not very explicit. Your spelling of the word "cheque" indicates that the banking system is not in the United States, but I could be mistaken. However, my familiarity is with the US banking system, although I'm by no means an expert.\n\nPlease note that when I say "you" in the following description, I'm using the generic form of "you" and I'm not referring to you specifically.\n\nIn general, you must have an account at a financial institution in order to write a check. A check is simply a transfer of funds from one financial institution to another. \n\nWhen you (payor) write a check to someone (payee), they will either deposit the check in their own account or they may cash the check. The payee's bank (or financial institution) may let the payee have the funds immediately or it may place a "hold" on the funds for a period of time. If the payee's bank, or financial institution, gives the payee immediate access to the funds, it's because the payee's bank has a reasonable expectation that the funds will be good. For example, the payee may have sufficient funds in their own account so that if the check bounces, the bank will be able to recover the funds from the payee. The payee would then try to get the money from the payor to cover the shortage. \n\nIf the payee's bank places a "hold" on the funds, that means the payee does not have immediate access to the money. The bank will wait a specific number of days (usually 4-10 days) to give the check time to complete the transfer of funds. Each bank, or financial institution, has its own policy regarding how long it will place a hold and on what types of checks it will place a hold (e.g., out of state checks).\n\nThe time allowed to complete the transfer of funds between financial institutions varies depending on a number of factors. And there may be some individual idiosyncracies with specific financial institutions. I.e., all financial institutions are not created equal when it comes to processing payments.\n\nFor example, several years ago, I ordered a wire transfer of funds. I thought a wire transfer would be virtually immediate because the payment should go through electronically. What I learned was that the wire transfer would be sent to the branch of my bank that was closest to the branch of the payee's bank, but then it would be physically sent to the payee's bank -- either by US mail or, possibly hand-carried. This was an idiosyncracy of my particular wire transfer transaction.\n\nSo when the payee deposits the check in their account, the deposit is based on trust between the bank, the payee, and the payor. The actual funds have not yet transferred into the payee's account. It can be 10 days or longer (although it may be shorter now) and a check may bounce. Also, the payor may put a stop payment on a check, which may not be communicated to the payee's bank for several days.\n\nCashier's checks are an interesting item. I used to think that a cashier's check was like cash. It turns out that they're actually more like checks. The purchaser of a cashier's check may put a stop payment on the cashier's check and it can take as long as 30-45 days before a problem shows up in the payee's bank account. And cashier's checks are commonly used to send fraudulent payments. So you have to be very careful about receiving cashier's checks.\n\nIf you write a check and don't have sufficient funds in your account, when the payee's bank submits the check for payment your bank will usually debit your account for the amount of the check. Many banks will give you grace for your first one or sometimes two bounced checks. In other words, they will pay the check to the payee's bank. The payee won't know that you had insufficient funds. However, your account will be overdrawn and you have to cover the overdrafted amount, including overdraft ch

Why don`t you try one of the building societies, some of them have `current a/cs ` where you can have a cheque book but can only write out cheques to the value of the a/c, I am not sure exactly how it works, they may counter-sign the cheques. Sorry I am not very helpful. Ring them up and get details.

If the cheque was clearly written and it was allocated to the wrong account by the bank then it is their error and you do not pay any charges.  They are at fault not you.  If you are living in Britain go back to your bank and ask for the address of the Banking Ombudsman and tell them that you are going to make an official complaint against them.  They have to give you this information and the Ombudsman will deal fairly with your complaint. You certainly should not have paid to have the cheque reallocated.

I don't the the question is about criminal liability although clearly if it was percieved you were involved in the fraud knowingly you could face charges.\n\nThe money can be taken back from your account at any point, as it may go several weeks / months before the cheque is discovered to be counterfeit. (i.e. whenever the account holder gets his statement and spots it, rings the bank and they trace the account into which it was paid from the document handler line on the back). At that point you will lose the money!\n\nMost of the Banks are wise to the number of forgeries out there, as are companies in the IT sector receiving large orders from Nigerian businessman, who then pay with a UK cheque! \n\nIf ever in doubt get your bank to check it out for you. They are your best hope.

Postal orders are the best way if you want the money asap. Cheques are ok if you want the money to go into your bank account and don't mind waiting a few days. I know what you mean when it's comes to paypal especially when selling something on ebay. You get charged by ebay for listing the item then you get charged again by ebay at the end of the month and then paypal charge you for using their services and then they charge you again if you transfer funds into a bank account. You don't seem to really gain anything using ebay or paypal.\n\nPostal Orders are the best bet. Just take them the post office and they will cash them for you.

They are accepted in the north of England! But they are NOT so-called 'legal tender', only Bank of England notes are legal tnder in England. Thus shops etc. do not HAVE to take them. (if you've got any Scottish notes you can't spend, I'll be happy to take them!).\nNote: legal tender is a legal term, not a custom. For example, a shop can refuse to accept 50p worth of pennies because that is not legal tender (20p in pennies is legal tender), so a shopkeeper in England can decide whether or not to accept Scottish money. On the other hand all legal tender in England is also legal tender in Scotland. It's a mad world!

If not, bring your account to Barclays. Our equivalent account is called a Cash Card Account. On which you CAN have Direct Debits set up, but not standing orders. Pop into your local branch, its very quick and simple to set up!

No it is not like a money order. They are cheques issued by credit card and charge card companies and banks etc which enable the holder to obtain cash or pay for goods and services when visiting a foreign country. \n\nThe cheques are signed by the traveller on their receipt and again when payment is being made. They are covered against loss provided the issuing company is notified within a specified period.\n\nTravellers Cheques are one of the easiest and safest ways to carry money/currency overseas. The most popular TC currency would be the US dollar. TC's are very safe as a thief would have to forge you signature AND provide a document verifying that signature. They are very common and easy to get from any bank or ask your local travel agent. The most populat TC's are Visa and Mastercard as they are the most widely used and recognised.

You can also list at http://www.ebay.co.uk\n\nIts a UK site but your account is also valid at that site. You can sell items on that site as well, but you will get mostly UK buyers. If youre from UK, you should sell on that site. If most of your customers are from UK, then you should sell on that site.\n\nIf they are paying by paypal. then it will automatically convert the dollars to pounds for you, and vice versa.

Just had some travellers' cheques at a rate of $1.81 to the pound\nTherefore\n\n$23.50  is the answer to question (at the moment).\n\nTry putting in 'tourist rates' in a search engine, for more up to date rates!

Many retailers here in Britain seem to have abandoned the cheque as a method of payment this year.  Examples include fuel stations, convenience stores and some supermarkets.\n\nDebit cards are probably the most common form of payment nowadays, I think the Barclays Connect was the first of its type about 15 years ago.

certified cheque = script/check from a bank guarenteed for a certain amount.\n\nIF IT IS NOT CASHED keep your receipt (the bank will give you one when you get the script/check) and take it back to the bank they will give you your money back.\n\nto be convey by diplomatic courier services = the delivery service must be approved by the country where you are sending the money.
