I'm with HSBC and in the UK. Do they allow you to receive checks from clickbank and such which are in $USD? What are their charges? All of you from the UK, how do you deal with checks which are in $USD?
We live in an open economy and banks from any country would have some kind of relationship with major countries. Since HSBC is a major international bank, they have US branches. All you need to do is to deposit the check at your bank and they will take care of the clearing process which may include mailing the check securely back to the US for clearing. As for the fees, it is best to contact your bank directly for that.
