Hello -

I have recently received a US IRS tax refund check for 2019 that I would like to cash. I have a US account and though I had asked for a direct deposit, IRS has sent me a check instead. The check is higher than the mobile check deposit limits for the banks I have accounts with.

I have a BCGE account and they said they do not cash checks issues by US banks. From a different thread in this forum (dated 2016), it looks like opening a new UBS account for this is not possible.

Any other suggestions please?

Thank you

Mail it to your bank in the US, signed and write: "for deposit only", both on the back. Snail mail,... that is.

I called the bank and asked for a temporary higher limit for mobile deposit to deposit the check. They did it the same day, no problem.

PayPal will let you cash stimulus checks through their app, and from there you can ACH the fund into your US bank account.
