Foreign Cheques

Anyone know how much banks (Barclays) charge for cashing these if at
all? Someone wants to send me some Merkin money.

 

Paypal? Or get them to buy an International Money Order for about
a tenner?

 

Just done one via HSBC - £5 charge plus terrible rate (£1 = US$1.84) - also
they tell me it could take a while to clear..

 

I once caught a draught in south america, it was very chile there.

 

Lots. Tel the Yank twat to send a sterling IMO, or cash, or use Western
Union.

The latter has big fees.

 

NONOONONONONONONNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
NEVER use Western Union, scamming theiving bunch of cnuts.

PayPal or get them to send real dollars like a EBay buyer did for me.
Exchange rate is better

Er.... Robbo, if the other party sends money to Daz, which he then
withdraws from a W.U. office in nice crisp tenners, then the only one at
any risk at all is the other party.

Oh yeah, post cash. *Much* safer.

When I cashed a Euro cheque with Barclays they didn't charge much for
the privilege but it took a long time to clear.

Anybody know if any of the banks are offering a euro account yet?

 

steve auvache bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along
the lines of:

Well, all the ones in France do. And Germany. And the Netherlands.
And...


HTH.
