Cashing US Cheque
Can anyone confirm that it is possible to pay a US cheque into a UK bank account. I know there is usually a charge but they are fairly large cheques

Confirmed my Google Adsense cheques used to come from the US and I never had a problem paying them in.
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

Just pay them in - the bank will do the conversion.

Some UK banks will insist you open a second kind of sub-account for foreign payments. They usually run alongside your normal account and are in
effect invisible.

Not a problem, my wife cashed a cheque a few months back. The cashier in the bank fills in a special form, your show them some ID, they tick lots of
boxes and you leave with a photocopy of the cheque and a copy of the paperwork.
The lady behind the counter told us that is could take up to 8 weeks to clear but is usually cleared within a week.
For this you get charged a fee (think about £14) and recieve a letter from the bank informing you that the cheque is being processed and the money
will be in your bank shortly.

Charge depends on bank. HSBC wanted to charge me £25 to deposit a £35 cheque, Barclays did it for free

interesting to note. my wife has dividend cheques from some shares in a US company she used to work for. they're usually tiny cheques,
paid every 6months i think, but if barclays would do that for free, it would save her collecting loads and then asking the company to send a larger
cheque (that's what they've told her to do in the past as they won't pay into her bank account)
