Hi everyone,
I have a small (but costly) problem.
I have a current account with Permanent TSB and, up until now, I could cash French cheques in EUR for free (despite a 25 business days-delay for the cheque to clear on it).
However, regulations have changed and TSB are now charging me 3% of the value of the cheque to cash it on my account (up to a maximum of 38 EUR fees per cheque).
I now find that paying 3% of the cheque's amount (or 38 EUR) AND still have to wait one calendar month before being able to use my money is more than slightly annoying. I mean, we're still talking EUR and the Euro Zone...
Would anyone know how to find a cheaper and quicker solution?
Unfortunately, the client who is sending me the French cheques in EUR (roughly one per month) is not really willing to try and find an alternative to help me...
Sometimes I think it would be easier if I was dealing with cheques in RSA or something because EUR>EUR seems to be such a hassle.
Thank you for your help,
NatW
