the answer is your bank


a lot involving checks is discretionary in-house policy, that is in addition to government regulation. I will say a week is not uncommon for a lot of banks depending on amount


deposit it or find another bank or just suck it up

Banks have very little cash on hand any longer. They actually have to order the money to be brought in.

In the future, call ahead one to two days beforehand and give them a heads up.

Some casinos will go ahead and cash very large checks for ya.

So I goes in to my local bank, been a good customer 4 easily 5 years n I want to cash a pretty large check n they tell me it will be like a week to be able to get my money n i have 2 sign a waiver after they ask they managers for approval?




Yes, you can thank the IRS. Cashing out over a certain amount is an auto red flag to the IRS. Basically the US government automatically assumes you are laundering and/or tax evading. Its a sad world we live in.

Drewberry,

I don't think anyone here likes you. You are irritating and seem pretty stupid. Please quit posting.

Thanks.

I guess they put a hold on it to make sure it would clear. I know back in the day any cash transaction over $10K, we would have to fill out a CSR (some government reporting form) on the person and you couldn't tell them that is what you were doing.


CTR (Currency Transaction Report). Its not against the law or against policy to tell the customer that you are filing one. The only thing that should't be advertised by the bank is the limit at which one of those is done. However, if you look it up on line you can find it. Also, its only on depositing cash or withdrawing cash. Cashing a check is typically not considered, unless maybe you are cashing your own check from another bank.

Thanks, I figured someone knew it. I knew CSR didn't sound right hahaha. We were always told not to tell the customer....probably just our bassackward banking practices

You type like a 6 year old. I never knew a bank would cash a $20 check for a 6 year old. You will have to wait a week to get your tub of bubblegum and push pop.

You've stored all that banking jargon in there and its been filed away. CSR = Customer Service Representative. I have been in banking for over 15 yrs and it all still runs together at times.
