United only offering to pay me in USD?

I've claimed the €600 compensation, they have accepted, but are now saying they'll pay it by cheque in USD. Is there any alternative? I'd rather not have to open a new HSBC account and then lose money on the exchange. It all seems crazy complicated.
Any advice?

Find a company that will cash a USD cheque and tell them to add the cost to their compensation.
