I need to cash a check from Germany. Can I do this at any bank?
Untitled
As with any other check, a bank is under no obligation to cash your check from Germany. Finding a bank that can assist you becomes more complicated, because few banks in the U.S. are equipped to handle foreign items themselves; most use the services of larger correspondent banks with foreign banking operations. If you have an established banking relationship, contact your bank to see if it has access to foreign bank services and can assist you.
