    A few days ago, I received my first check from google, It was a total sum of 112$ but when I went to the bank, they took 30$ to themselves because it was a foreign check :(

    I would find a new bank. Here in the US my bank never charges for foreign checks. They do put holds for 10 days but never charge a fee.

    make sure you select your currency in your adsense preferences, that way, when google send you a cheque it will be in your local currency, and not USD (unless thats actually what you want)

    My bank told me to open a US account so it cost me nothing to deposit. If I transfer money from an account to an other of my accounts I get no fee either, so I just transfer the US funds from that account to my CAN$ account and no cost even for the exchange... maybe your bank has that too, but they don't say unless you ask...

    Well, I checked a bank near me and they said it takes 2 weeks to get the payment and 1.5% of the ammount. So i feel a bit sorry for some of you...
