new rabobank rule: I cant cash checks that are less than ?100? - GoFuckYourself.com

nico-t · 09-24-2007, 08:08 AM

Holy fuck im glad i barely have check as payout method. Occasionally i get em, and just yet i went to the bank. And i couldnt cash a check of $130, because it was less than ?100. She said its a new rule... jesus christ. Its like these fucks come up with new rules weekly. People from holland is this normal? Very weird shit.

go to another bank?

nico-t · 09-24-2007, 09:35 AM

yea im checking some other banks with less rules... the forms they have to fill out for a check being cashed are also rediculous but id figure its the same at all the banks here.. any dutchies got any tips of the cheapest bank for cashing checks? rabo is €12,50 a check

12,50 to cash a check? You guys are getting so fucked over.

If it is a question of US dollar checks, I suspect it would be cheaper to hire someone in the US to receive your checks, cash them, and wire you the funds in a block.

yeah but for accounting/tax reasons the guy in the US wouldn't probably want it

let's say would YOU cash checks for someone for a few k's per month and then wire them to Netherlands? or to Poland for that matter?

I dont think so, even if you were getting some commision for it

$12.50 per foreign check is cheap.

Down here in Brazil I'm paying over $100 per US check cashed (that's why I currently only deal with wire transfers and Epass).

My little brother had to close his account when they found out the money was made in porn lol Rabobank sucks ass. ABN here and never had a problem.

Rabobank can setup a bankaccount for you in the USA

You mail the cheques to the USA, they add it to your account in about a week and you can see the funds online and transfer it to your NL bank account. They cooperate with an USA bank to do this.

Costs are around 3-4$ per cheque. You might have to ask them if there's some kind of minimum amount you have to do each month though. My partner sends his low $ cheques there, around 5k$-10k$/month total and it's definitely worth it.

I forgot to add that I haven't heared from my Rabobank yet about this new rule.

I've noticed some Rabobanks have different rules when it comes to cashing cheques. Prices are the same everywhere, but some have problems with adult and some don't. My bank knows about the adult and they don't give a fuck.

I was with ABN-AMRO for a while until they started crediting 41 euros per cheque!!! had a hell of a time getting my cash refunded and i moved away from them.. i am with Postbank now and no problems.. although they charge 12.50 per cheque witch i think is total BS..

JamesK · 09-24-2007, 06:23 PM

I stopped using checks a while ago, the fees are fucking rediculous. I think its even cheaper to get a WU. So strictly wires, ePass and PayPal for me now.

pudcat · 09-24-2007, 06:41 PM

We're on the other side of the world (Aus), though the banks here are just as bad ($15/cheque), we had a good talk with our bank who talked to their international clearing department and now we do as many as we want (no minimums) for the one fee, we just need to provide a spreadsheet of all the cheques which is sent off with the cheques to their international department.

From what I understand the cheques are couriered to the US to their partner bank who then does the cashing of the cheques... because they can just send them all in one go it's just the one fee.

QuaShe is right ABN takes healthy commission, but no questions asked.
This is a free country. I dunno what the fuck Rabo is up to.
Last time i brought a cheque to ABN it was 17,85 EUR for cheques below $1000
