Just so you know, we’re making some changes to our foreign check collections. We are moving to a new correspondent bank that charges a higher fee for foreign check collection and processing. Moving forward, we will be charging a fee consistent with the fee from the correspondent bank. We’re not making anything off of these fees, just passing along the same fees we are charged.

Provisional Credit Items

For Canadian items under $1,000, we will provide you with immediate access to the funds. For non-Canadian items (listed below) under $500, it may be up tp two business days before you have access to your funds. If your foreign check item is returned to us unpaid, we will debit your account for the returned item and any returned item fees applicable.

Fee for processing provisional credit for Canadian items – $8
Fee for processing provisional credit for non-Canadian items – $15
