Can I Use My Bank Account to Reprocess Checks?

I want to work for a company reprocessing checks through my checking account. Can I do this even if I send some of the money to foreign countries?


This sounds like a "company" is trying to use you and your checking account to launder money to disguise the source of the funds that you might send to foreign countries. Any legitimate company would use its own bank accounts to process checks payable to the company and then remit funds from its own accounts to make donations, pay obligations, etc. Not sure where you heard about the process of moving someone else's money through your checking account, but there's nothing but trouble that can result from getting involved. Steer wide and clear of it.
