Wow. Scotio held the check for 3 weeks and charged around $25 for an $8000 check on our US bank. So Multibank wins that one, hands down!

Yes, I can see their point, but on the one hand the government welcomed us and our money with incentives, and on the other hand they make certain things nearly impossible. FATCA and the Panama Papers did nothing to help. Earlier this year I was left a small legacy in England, over 10,000, and I had it transferred into Scotia. They wanted to know what it was for, where it came from, who it came from, and all the details of the transfer. I just sent them a copy of everything. Meanwhile millions of dollars are changing hands at a 'higher level'. It's just annoying.

When I went into Scotia Bank in January, to deposit a check written on my Chase account in the States, I was told that this was the last time I could do it. They are not accepting any more foreign checks.
