    Hi guys,

    I received my cheque last week for US $545 and then I put that money on my own account bank, but until today I still have to wait til that cheque clear up by citibank.

    The money is already in my account but however I cannot take the money till confirmed its been made by citibank.

    So the question is how long the cheque can be cash out in your account bank? (its been 1 week now)

    Btw I live in New Zealand.

    If you have citi bank branch in your area then it will take 2 to 3 days to clear the cheque.My chaeque was cleared in three days in india.

    From my experience, State Bank of Travancore takes some 15-20 days to clear the cheque... HDFC Bank 1 week... My city doesn't have Citi Bank branches...

    If your check is in Local Currency, then it will take 5-10 days. If it is in USD, it will take 20-30 days. (In some countries 45 Days)

    Wow this is take long time, the money is in US dollars, I put in 14 oct, but the bank still not clear up, it's already in my bank account, but cannot take it out yet.
    I guess you right, I have to wait another 2 weeks ( maximum I guess cause already around 40 days), otherwise I'll call my bank to confirm this

    Normally it will take 15 to 20 days. I experienced the same on many occasions.
