That's unfortunate and def not the norm.

pretty sure very few people get one free WU w/d a month, I know I don't

[duh]

my bad for assuming. maybe they just do that for residents in the states that can't get checks?

[Halstad]

that's possible

I decided to give bovada a try and deposited 20 dollars with a my visa. I ran it up to 120 in a couple days just messing around and requested a cashout by check on 2/17. I still have not received the check yet. My question is what to tell my credit union if they question me on why i have this check from another country. i just dont want to get questioned and not know what to say.

^ Just fill out the deposit slip and hand them the check, nothing more than that is needed if your worried. I don't spark conversations with the tellers when I deposit money just the typical "Hello, I want to deposit this check in my account".

ATM if you're uncomfortable

the fee would be because of a foreign check, not b/c of the bank where you take it. Yes, there will be a slight difference in fee amount, but any bank that has to send a check through foreign collections is going to charge you a significant amount. My credit union will not even accept foreign checks (luckily, I have never received one that is 100% foreign).

so it's all based on luck of the draw? the check i just deposited was from a Southeast Asian location

Please refrain from posting actual locations of where the check came from. Use words such as north of the us ,far east, etc. posting actual locations does nothing but potentially harm the players because it can compromise the payment processors. Please edit your above post or maybe a moderator can do so.

The tellers at my banks always ask me , " was this check sent in the mail or were did u get this check from." how would u answer this, or would u jus ignore then?
