When a USA player receivs a check these days, sometimes its a Canadian check drawn on a Canadian bank in US Funds. If it has a 9 digit ABA routing number, it will usually sail right thru the system. If however, it has an 8 digit ABA routing number, thes best course of action imo is to point this out to the bank teller because there is a slightly different procedure that they need to do to handle this. If its a large nationwide bank like BAC, WFC, etc its usually not a huge obstacle. If it s a small regional bank it will prob need ot go thru the collections process which can takes weeks or more. If you dont say anything and its an 8 digit routing number, and the teller doesnt catch it, it may be rejected by your bank and create the appearance of a bounced check.
