Question about checks

For anyone out there getting paid via check in their local currency (not US dollars)

Is the check in English? Does it say the usual "pay against this cheque bla bla bla"?

Does it say "Payable at Citibank, NA Through Citibank (New York State)?

If so, doesn't your bank say "hey, this is a foreign check, doesn't matter if it is in local currency"? You don't have any prblems at all depositing it in your local bank?

I am thinking about switching to getting paid in Mexican pesos, but want to make sure it won't cause any problems

 

will for me i put any check in $s bank account in my country and they send it to bank in usa then back to my account it takes between 30 days to 45 days in my country and i pay for that too

 

for me india, they pay in Rupee(my currency). it takes around 3 days to encash.

 

Checks in Mexican pesos are all in English, except for your information, (if a Mexican address is enabled) and the legend "Para abono en cuenta"... ah, of course the amount, MXN $xxxxx

At the bottom it says, "Payable at Banco Nacional de México, S.A., Grupo Financiero Banamex", which is a Citigroup branch.

 

Perfect, that is what I was hoping for. I have an account at Banamex.

Are you located in in Mexico?

 

I receive in Hong Kong and check is in english.
btw bankers know englishe here

 

lol, yeah, they know English here also, but I once took a check in dollars to Banamex (which is a mexican branch of Citibank) and they wouldn't accept it.

 

Yep, Based in Mexico City and having a Banamex account too

And what you say to Mong is true, after Banamex became part of the Citigroup, they didn't accept checks in dollars, when before they did it "salvo buen cobro"

Today the only issue that you can find is that prior accepting a check from Google, they may verify your average checking balace before authorize the deposit.
