Until this week, Israeli foreign exchange places would accept U.S. checks, at least from their regular customers, and would pay them out for a fee of 1 percent of their value. But this is no ,longer the case. ‘The problem is with the check clearance process,” a Jerusalem money changer told The Jewish Press. ‘No one outside the U.S. is able to do check clearance. It’s an international problem, it’s not a problem only in Israel.’ American banks are not processing for clearance any checks coming from outside the U.S.”
