Title: How to cash checks?
Post by: eklogite on May 28, 2012, 01:43

I have not received any payment from my agency yet.
Seems that they send checks.
How can I cash the check since I live in a sanctioned country?
I cannot cash those checks in Iran since there is no banking relations.
Please assist me for getting paid.

I can only receive my payments to the following options:
Webmoney, Liberty Reserve and and check.
I have a bank account with one of Azerbaijan banks that will help.

Thank you.

Did you ask your agency? What did they say?

Hello.

You did not get what I mean.
Sorry the question is confusing.
I will receive the checks, but at this time I do not have the sufficient balance.
My question is how to cash the checks ?
Since there is no bank that can cash my checks here (Sanctioned country).

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

If there is no bank that can cash your check, I'm clueless. If you have a friend in a country who can cash the check for you and then pay you back, that might be a solution. But the check would have to be written in his name. I'm kind of surprised that you supplied an agency but didn't enquire beforehand methods of being paid.

Must be tough though being a citizen of a sanctioned country and trying to do things like this, which the rest of us take for granted.

Well I live in a country where none of these are available:
Paypal, Payoneer, moneybookers, Swift, Visa/MasterCard and so.
I have mananged to receive a wire transfer from two of the agencies in my account outside of my country.
Also Alamy and Inmagine do support Wire Transfer as payment methods, but other may not accept.
Registering paypal with invalid info is a big risk, if you get limited then all the money is lost !

How if I receive many checks and take them to a foreign bank and show them with my ID to cash them ?
Maybe requesting an account from that bank would be a good idea :)

Thanks all

Yeah try one of the foreign banks, dress smart. Try contacting the agency by phone and ask them to wire the money, minus any charges. Make sure you mention how much you like the agency and promote them.

Hope u find a solution.
