Greetings,
Customers of BPI in Bacolod Philippines, have received a check at their previous address here in the U.S. (Their brother & wife live here in that address now, and I am helping all parties).
The check is from Wells Fargo, where they used to bank. We’re wondering what is the best way to deposit that check in their account in Bacolod, and we seek your kind recommendation. Possibilities we thought of are:
1. Just mailing the check to the party’s address in Bacolod. However they expressed concern about the reliability of mail service.
2. Mailing the check to their local BPI branch in Bacolod. But would the bank personnel know what to do with it? Would they follow up and contact the customer and inform them? We’re thinking that the customer would still need to come in personally and endorse the check. Or might that not be necessary as long as it is deposited into their account?
3. Or, is there some way we can scan and deposit it into their account online, without needing to risk mailing it? Naturally it would not have the customer’s signature, since they are in the PI, and the check is here in the U.S. with us.
4. Or would one of the “correspondent banks” here in the US be able to help in any way? We showed the check to a Wells Fargo bank officer, but she had no suggestions.
I can send you a scan of the check, if you like.
Thank you,
Donald Graves
Hi Donald, as of today, online deposit for checks in the Philippines is only for peso checks, only with some fully digital accounts and should be endorsed by the payee. I think the best option is to send the Wells Fargo check to the payee in Bacolod using a courier like Fedex. Usually, a bank here accepts a US-issued dollar cheque deposit only if the payee has a US dollar account with the bank (some require that the account has been opened at least 6 months prior). If the payee doesn’t yet have a US dollar account, it will be good for the payee to ask banks about their policy for accepting/clearing US-issued cheques. Security Bank states on its website that it can clear US cheques in around 8 days (30 to 45 days is the usual time frame for clearing) and might also do it even if the account is a peso account.
