Hi,
Does anyone know any place in Barcelona to cash checks the same day (or up to 1 week) with low rate? It takes like a month to do that with my bank Pastor in Barcelona.
When i was living in Argentina and Russia, it was the same with US checks. Normal banks - it took about a month… But I’ve managed to find one in Buenos Aires cashing the same day and charging only 1 percent!

Thank you

p.s. sorry for cross posting this topic in business section as well.

Have you thought about forwarding the check to someone in your home country, waiting for the check to clear, and then having them wire the funds to you? Probably take a lot less than 30 days…

What was I doing? Oh yeah, now I remember…

i’m not from USA, i’m just getting paid with US checks. so thats not an option to forward them to USA or to my home country. Too much hassle and probably will save me just couple weeks out of 3-4 in Barcelona.
