    This is a serious kick in the backside for me! I am in Australia and had no idea that a check from the US would
    cost so much to cash! Does anyone know how I can cash this check for smaller fees? I still have the check, when
    they told me the fees I wouldn't let them cash it NO WAY :eek: Let me see $29 check minus $15 = $14 = :(

    That's quiet expensive. In my own, I won't cash that check. Yes, you need to pay for encashment but that's is expensive.

    Yes I just hope there are some aussies here that have some advice for me :confused: I won't mind paying a few dollars to cash it but $15 is outlandish to the extreme!

    I'm not from aussie. but yes, cashing US$ check will cost me around $10 - $35 in my country.

    I suggest you to set higher threshold for your payment.

    for the check you have right now, you may go to other bank. different bank will charge different fee.

    Hi, apparently at the Commonwealth bank they will only charge you 2.5% conversion fee.

    In India it takes $12, I've heard. Adbrite is crap from all angles.

    poor rates
    delayed payments
    no paypal, bank transfer
    high conversion charge

    Do you have Nationwide?

    HSBC charge $30 to cash a USD cheque in England, but Nationwide charge $13 - that is cheap to me after the first one!

    Yeah that is what I intend to do from now on.
    That sounds good, is that a definite? I will check that out. My bank is Westpac.
    Haven't heard of them so I don't think so.
