Unless that German guy actually lives in the US, I'm surprised he was actually able to a) cash an American cheque somewhere and b) not have to pay an exorbitant service fee for cashing it. Cheques are approximately as common as unicorns in Europe.
- tialaramex 8y agoMy bank informs me that they would charge between £6 and £10 to accept such a cheque as payment into my account - depending on exactly the amount, how it was issued and so on. I guess if you literally wanted it turned into cash on the spot you'd pay a much larger fee corresponding to the risk they'd be taking on that deal.

Eventually they offered 20 euros + 9% to cash it. Felt like robbery but no one really even knows what a check is here, it's extremely rare.
