Hi,

Could someone tell me which Finnish banks take Australian bank cheques? NAB (National Australian Bank) to be specific.

Cheers!

Generally speaking, any bank can send your check for collection. Specifically if it is bank or a bank confirmed check . Though collection procedure might be long and expensive . So if the sum is small - no sence in trying.

Can you ger it put into an Australian bank account and have a friend/family member transfer thr funds? That has got tyo be cheaper than trying to get the cheque done in Finland.

The problem is, I don't have an account with the bank I recieved the cheque from.
The cheque is from a pension fund and it's more than 1000€. How much fees are we talking when say the cheque is worth 1000 €?
Does anyone know which bank would be the best for my situation?

When I have paid foreign cheques into my Finnish (OP) account there has been a flat fee rather than a percentage. The fee has been 11 or 12 euro from memory. For an amount like 1000 euro I would not consider that significant.

Fitting that first hit about cheques in Nordea's web page was "Pankkimuseo" - bank museum. Next hit told that they hit you 40€ for cashing it.
