Please note that cheques drawn in one currency payable in another country where the currency is different will take longer to realise and would attract charges from various correspondent banks as per their tariff schedule, over which we do not have any control. For example, a cheque drawn in USD payable to a bank in Singapore, a cheque drawn in GBP payable to a bank in South Africa, or a cheque drawn in USD payable in Canada.
