Mine took three weeks or more. Can't remember exactly as it was 2 months ago. The check has a German bank name on it but the check is actually drawn from a bank in the U.S. and is in U.S. currency.

I'm Canadian and live in Canada.

I won't list specific details on the check. Hope that helps.

I'm showing a $4.67 fee for a cheque...is that accurate?

Glad to hear it's in US $, not in Euros like C2P. Standard vig of a couple points at the bank, I assume? Any other weird bank fees?

The Moneybookers cheque fee is around a few Euro or something, so you're probably right.

OK, don't laugh, but I actually haven't tried to deposit it yet. One of the first things I did when I opened up my Moneybookers account was do some tiny test withdrawals using bank wire and cheque. Just to see how long each would take. Of course the bank wire was faster. But I've still got the cheque on my table. It's only for a few dollars, so I never bothered to deposit it.

My Moneybookers account is in U.S. currency so I wonder if that is why they sent me a cheque in U.S. currency from a U.S. bank. If my MB account was in Canadian currency, would the check be from a Canadian bank in Canadian currency? I don't know.

Possibly, but I imagine then you'd get hit with currency exchange vig every time you moved money on and off the sites, so it wouldn't be worth it.

Yeah, that's why I opened a U.S. currency account. Now, if the U.S. dollar would only rise instead of fall...
