Question for UK AdSense members (urgent)

Hi there,

I just received my first AdSense check in local currency (£70).

However, the check says on it "For Citibank Europe plc" as the Payee and also "Payable at Citibank CRS Account" and then the address for the london Citibank location.

The problem is I live nowhere near London.

Can I cash this check at other banks, such as Halifax or HSBC, or is it strictly only Citibank?

Else if not, I'm pretty much screwed and just lost £70.

 

It seems citiback is google's bank account
we got cheque from google citibank account.
I don't have citiback account but i got money.

 

Thanks for that Adulu. I'm a bit less concerned now.

Can anyone from the UK comment?

Thanks.

 

I just take mine into natwest, hand it over. sign a piece of paper and walk away knowing it gets sorted out.

There shouldnt be any problem. Or at least i've never had a problem.

Hope that helps

Regards
DK

 

Thanks a lot DK. I'll take it to HSBC and hope for the best.

 

Seriously m8, there shouldn't be any problems.

Enjoy your trip to the bank

You can cash it at any bank. No problems.

 

I don't think that for clearing the check Citybank's a/c is required.

 

Why don't you just have it paid straight into your bank account rather than being sent a cheque? That's what I do..

 

Dont worry your fine, you dont need an account with Citibank, im not with them and in Birmingham, it will clear in whatever bank and branch you put it in.

 

You can deposit your check in any bank.. just don't worry about that.

 

You should be fine. Ive cashed my checks at hsbc banks.

 

Yeah, its just Googles bank account. Don't worry
