Paying money into a US dollar account by US dollar cheque drawn on a non-US bank or any other currency cheque or draft drawn on a non-UK bank

  • Cheques or drafts should be made payable to the account holder(s) or Nationwide International Ltd. Please note we are unable to accept cheques made payable to a third party and for security reasons, we're unable to accept travellers cheques or cash by post
  • When sending a cheque or draft please always quote your name and account number
  • The minimum amount accepted for this type of payment is the currency equivalent of US$750. Any cheques for less than this amount will be returned to you
  • When a cheque is drawn on a non-UK bank, regardless of the currency, it is sent for clearance through our bankers on a collection basis. This means your account will only be credited with the US dollar proceeds once Nationwide International has received value for the cheque. This process can take up to eight weeks and is subject to charges. These charges are levied by our bankers and by the correspondent / agent banks which have been involved in the process. These charges are variable and regrettably we are unable to provide an exact breakdown prior to the cheque being deposited
  • Cheques drawn on a non-UK bank made payable to the account holder(s) i.e. you the payee(s), must be endorsed on the reverse side of the cheque. To endorse a cheque the payee(s) should sign the back of the cheque in exactly the same way as their name(s) have been entered in the payee section of the cheque
