Hmm, when I used to get cheques sent they were all in US$s and cost me a minimum £5 to pay them into a UK bank (HSBC). Do they send AdSense cheques in your own currency now? I have it paid directly into an account, so not had a cheque in ages from them. Wasn't so bad with AdSense cheques as was always over $1,000, but for other affiliate programs that I might get cheques for $50 it's killing the profits! Anyone know a UK bank that doesn't charge so much on US cheques? I think HSBC start at £5 a cheque which is ridiculous for small cheques. LOL just checked my AdSense account and looks like they pay the transfers in pound sterling now as well, I rarely check my bank accounts David Law
