How can I cash a foreign check?

Question

Ok, I'm a U.S. citizen in the U.S. and I have Canadian checks written in U.S. dollar amounts to me. My bank will not cash them and say that the checks must have an after conversion amount of 200$ U.S. dollars and must be sent to a foreign currency exchange service on a collection basis. I don't understand, the check's are already in U.S. dollars and I hear that most banks will cash these checks. Is there an internet site that I could use for this, or any reccommendations?

Answer 1

Answer 2
