BobBKK Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Has anyone tried this? I have some GBP in Nat West and Nationwide and wanted to write myself a cheque - is it possible? I have a GBP account set up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 i think it should not be a problem. your cheque will be credited to your GBP account without any foreign exchange involved. however, you want to try the cost vs. a swift or wise payment (again, from GBP to GBP accounts). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no bank cards or machine as they will not send them here - all expired in 2016. Now I want to drain my UK accounts down to 1 GBP and was just wondering if my cheque books from 2007/8 will be ok and I write myself a cheque?

I think legally they have to accept a cheque written on almost anything so I think my cheque book should be ok? but, yes, its a nightmare and i wondered if anyone else had done it.

Happy for them to do that - I don't want any UK accounts. If the cheque clears they can (censored). In fact if they send a cheque they have to make sure it clears to close the account.

I know but I cant TT as i am not recognised by my bank etc. My question was not about TT but has ANYONE paid themselves a cheque into a FCD Bangkok Bank account.
