check clearing

In the United States there are laws on how long it may take to clear a check. If the check is local it must clear in 48 hours; if it is from out of state (from another state) then it must clear in 5 working days (Saturday and Sunday are not counted, even if the bank is open those days).

it wasn't a Nigerian lawsuit was it?

those can take a lot longer to clear.

I hope you do something wiser with it than simply depositing it in your checking account.

and if you are ever in Kansas, call me. I can help you find ways to blow it that you never knew existed...

If I had just won 9.5 million, I would be first contacting my lawyer who helped me with the case in question, or even MY BANK MANAGER to ask that question, rather than find a forum, register and ask complete strangers.

The Americans have a quaint phrase to cover this situation.... what is it? ..

....oh yes....




Ahem.....

I call bullshit.
