    Recently, I recieved the check from the plimus.com, the check is in US dollars, but all the banks of my country said that I will need a Dollar Bank Account to deposit the check and get money.
    So, to recieve the money as wire transfer will also require to open the account who currency is dollar, but unfortunately my country's currency is not in the list of the plimus.
    So, I got no way and also i cant afford to open a new account.

    Now, What should i do?
    Any Help regarding it?

    Where are you from?

    Because my country is not listed in Plimus's supported currencies but I am still getting wires from plimus in my regular local currency account. Plimus send money in USD but it converts to my local currency automatically.

    Opening up a local bank account for incoming wires should do the job for you. However, you can't send a wire from local bank account to any other country and you would require a USD/EUR/GBP account for that. But I'm assuming you only require an account for incoming wires. Should not be any problem.

    You can't cash the check directly. It goes to your bank account after getting cleared by the issuing bank.

    All you've to do is to deposit cheque to your bank and they will clear it from issuing bank and will be credited to your account within 7 - 15 days.

    Go for Wire transfer, though it costs $21 but worth it.

    Regards
