Hi, I have a cheque coming from America for completing surveys (global test market) Having just read my banks t&c regarding foreign cheques it doesn't sound like they will take it because its under £100. Does anyone know what the uk guidelines are regarding this or of any banks that will take the cheque?

try Auctionchex.com if its a one off small cheque0 -
Are they safe to use? The website isn't really filling me with confidence.0

Different banks have different limits (Santander's was £50 when I was there), and below that they consider the cheque 'not economical to process'.
Could it be possible to discuss with the company sending to draw the cheque on a London bank for you? What this means is that it would be a UK bank, in sterling and won't charge you to pay into your bank - it would just go as a normal cheque (in theory). Santander used to charge £10 to draw one, if the charge is similar, offer to accept a £90 cheque to cover this cost at their end?Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -
Hi, Cybi-Ping
I've been with Global Testmarket for about 4 years now, and all my cheques have been in sterling. Are you sure yours is going to be in US dollars?0 -

I wuld have thought that the cheque will be in pounds and you can pay it in as normal.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

I thought because the stated amount was in dollars they must pay in dollars. It sounds like I am worrying un-nesseserily, thank you for the reassurances!0
