Hi everyone! Has anyone here cashed or deposited a US dollar paper check in the Philippines? If so, which local bank did you use, and how many days or weeks did it usually take for the check to clear? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Clearing time by bank

Yes, at Bank of Commerce. 30 days to clear.

Use your US bank app

You can deposit US paper checks into your US bank account through the bank's app from anywhere.

Expect a month or more
Ron Singson2

Yes, 25 years ago. It took more than a month to clear. Never did it again

Transfer tips

Yes 👍 it's the ultimate best way to transfer money. Write a personal check to yourself at BDO for 4,999.99 — it costs 5 dollars and takes 20 banking days. Then withdraw it and exchange it somewhere with a better rate than the bank. Keep the receipt from where you exchanged it, because the bank will want a copy

Checks, still?
