My bank charged me $2 fee for a $11 cheque....Oh My God!!!!

I think you are lucky, because in my bank it is even more expensive to cash an international check. We have to pay at least $14 just to cash the check, but that it not all, in addition to that fee there is an extra fee which depends on the amount of the check. It gets more expensive it you want to cash a big amount of money. When I first started to get interested in online money making I wasn't aware of this, and I joined some sites which paid via checks, but I have given up those sites long ago. If I make $20, I will receive less than $6, so it definately not worth it Now I only use sites that pay via paypal or alertpay.

this is too much. which bank is it? did your cheque come from a different country or what? why did they charge alot. i suggest if you regularlby be encaching such cheques, try another bank or financial service

My credit union only charges if the check is no good. Credit unions are a bit different from banks--the depositors are shareholders and are treated much better than banking customers. If I were you I would not stand for that, I would call them and tell them if they are going to charge you to deposit money you will find another bank!

$11.00 is not an significant amount really as it is. Then with a - $2.00 from that amount, it's really just $9.00. Of course if in your country grocery stores offer you to cash checks with them, it could be anywhere from $3.00 to $7 or $8 just to have a check cashed... Taking that into consideration with the amount you received $11.00... well then that would leave you with little. I would suppose it's a shock to have that fee. Hubby got a check cashed one time I think from Clixsense and nothing was deducted from that amount. Maybe with smaller amounts it's better to have it cashed as pocket money instead? I'm sorry that you went to the bank and found that out, you would think that surveysavvy would warn that some banks may charge a service fee.

They charged me also but I forgot how much. That was too long ago when I got my money earned from online job. But I used paypal also. Here in my country charging is so natural for so many reasons like taxes and many more because I was the bank user here. I can do nothing but to pay those charges. It was too hard to earn money in different ways.

Every bank is different as is every country. I don't have any charges for depositing checks into my checking account should I need to, but I know people who are charged fees. Part of me wants to say it isn't a big deal, but another part of me knows how precious every cent is and to lose money for doing something so simple.
