Foreign currency cheques
Available to holders of foreign currency accounts with cheque books, these can be a useful means of making international payments, although beneficiaries may not be happy to accept them as they may incur local bank charges.
Available in a wide range of currencies and can be sent worldwide. You can:
- use them for making payments in euros within the UK
- hold a supply of cheques in a particular currency to be written and sent as required
- write cheques for any amount
- wait until the cheque is returned to NatWest before your account is debited
- write euro cheques to UK payees that can be cleared through the intra-UK euro clearing system in the same timescales as with sterling cheques
Using foreign currency cheques can improve your cash flow - but payees may not be happy to accept them as they may incur local bank charges.
