As long as you have an account with a bank they should be able to cash checks free of charge. Bank of America always cashes mine for free.
No
You can cash personal checks at your own bank branch or at the branch from where the check was issued. But, if the check was a crossed/account payee check then you can only cash it by depositing it into your bank account. It is always advisable to write crossed checks to ensure safety and avoid fraudulent activities.
If one does not have a bank account, they can still cash checks. They can go to check-cashing stores. They have to pay a fee for cashing their checks.
If you have a bank account, then yes of course you can.
Checks are monetary instruments that can be exchanged for cash. Cashing a check is the process of converting a check into cash. It can be done by submitting/depositing the check with the bank that has issued it or by depositing it with any bank that we have a bank account with. In the former cases you'll get cash immediately and in the case of the latter you'll get cash in 3-4 days if the account has enough funds to pay for the check.
You can cash a check at a different bank if the check was drawn on that bank. Some banks will cash a check drawn on a different bank but funds will not be available right away. They will wait for the check to clear.
Nope. All you need is cash.
Checks usually have a validity of 90 or 180 days (depending on the country) and after that date, the check is stale and worthless. No bank will accept such checks for cashing or cash it. Since it has no value it is considered to be stale. No bank will actually cash a stale check.
any bank has the right to refuse to cash checks if you are not already a customer. some will some won't.
