Western union cheque

[pokester]

I recieved a cheque from western union for a record ....
the western union office told me this is only valuble in USA and maybe in the UK ...

can this be cashed in the uk ? even in us dollars ?
Anyone ?

I think the rule of thumb is that if it can be drawn on a UK bank, then it can be paid into a UK account. I'd assume, that the same would be true of any country (ie if it can be drawn on a bank in the country where you are attempting to draw the funds).

I've certainly drawn on Western Union 'Moneygrams' in the UK.

What currency was it sent in? You can pick up any wu cheque from any wu agent. They will pay it out in cash there and then.

There is one in a crappy newsagent near me. Its always full of dodgy looking guys sending money to nigeria and ghana!

You can search for your nearest wu agent
