Oh ok, can't help ya there. We've only ever deposited money from one bank to another when it's a check from a Canadian bank in US funds, to a US bank account. Maybe you could just call the bank with the account you're depositing the money into.

Ok I just called my bank.... and yes I can deposit the UK check into my account it will just take about 3 -5 days to clear.... does not matter that it is written in GBP and not dollars...

Be warned, both banks will take fees from the amount.

I am lucky I bank with Citizens Bank here in the US and with The Royal Bank of Scotland in the UK they are part of the same group so only small fee to pay here in the US.... much cheaper than doing a international money transfer...

I remember about 6 months ago when I started receiving calls from all over the US from banks. Some ppl fell for some Nigerian scam, where they deposit a cashiers check (fake of course) when they are trying to sell something on EBay. The scammer overpays with a request that the poor guy send a check to pay off some debt or something.

I was getting 6 calls a day...as I was the payee bank....I can guanrantee you that this guy got nothing.

International checks can take up to 30 days to clear....these guys thought they were free and clear after 10 days, and were supposed to pay with the excess funds.

cant believe that ppl fall for this stuff....but Im the biggest cynic in the world.

I love those Nigerian scams emails...going to rescue someones 24 million dollars....I see how long I can scam em back....internet blood sport...and just insult the hell out of them. Make em rewrite letters and agreements until they get tired of it.
