When referring to a bank outside the UK (for example when an overseas bank is receiving a payment) it means any day on which the banks in that country are usually open.

We will be allowed to reverse the cheque within six working days of it being paid in, for example because there were insufficient funds in the payers account to meet the cheque.
|
Foreign cheques i.e. cheques in currencies other than GBP or drawn on banks outside the UK | We will collect the amount of the foreign cheque first and then pay the money into your account. We may wait a short time before paying the money into your account to make sure that the foreign cheque is not going to be returned unpaid. If a cheque is in a currency different from that in which your account is held we will convert the cheque into the currency in which your account is held at our exchange rate prevailing on the day of conversion.
