Ejc Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just wondering - has anyone else had the experience of paying a $ cheque into a CA account? We'd prefer to avoid double charges which will happen if we pay into out UK bank then transfer..... but was wondering if anyone had done this and how efficient the clearing service was.

Lori Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Do it all the time. The 30 Euro fee will be obligatoire, plus the exchange rate. 4 days is the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie15 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I think this varies with each branch,I paid a sterling cheque into a CA a/c and it took around 6 weeks!!!!!! I had read that it would take just a few days!!!I also know of others who have had to wait that long!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Lizzie - happened to me too ! Deposited a GBP check and NEVER saw the funds !!! 3 months later, Bank in Scotland blaming bank in France. Bank in France blaming bank in Scotland ! I suspect the problem was the bank in FRANCE ... Luckily for me, the check was from my husband, so he simply canceled it and wrote me another one.This also happened on a WIRE TRANSFER.... waited 3 weeks for it to show up. Normally takes 3 to 5 days. Have to say that Credit Agricole is horrible with customer service, trying to track down your own money is incredible ...
