You'll loan me $340K to refi my house but you won't cash a $5 rebate check because I don't have a checking account with you.

Lol, seriously?
 You've got a $340k loan with them and they are giving you grief over a $5 check? I would have been speaking with the manager within seconds  Speed |

Why is that logic stupid? If your $5 check bounces, they can't take your house as collateral or add the amount to your mortgage.
I'll never understand the "I tried to cash a check a bank where I don't have a checking/savings account and they wouldn't let me" threads. Why not just go to the bank that has your checking account to begin with? |

Why not just go to the bank that has your checking account to begin with? Because I was there dropping off paper work for my refi and didn't want to make a separate trip. Your point about the $5 check bouncing would make sense if I was a stranger off the street but since I already have a business relationship with the bank with my mortgage it seems really silly on their part. |

Was the check drawn on an account at that bank?

Dood.
Your wife is going to be pissed. She filled out the form, cut the frigging UPC codes and mailed it in. She waited 2 months and all you had to do was cash it! CASH IT! 
Seriously, just give her five bucks when you get home. It is the smart play. |

I've tried to cash a check at the bank upon which it was drawn, and they wanted to charge me a fee.
Fuck that. I just deposited in my account with another bank and waited for it to clear. |

I had a CD interest check from Wells Fargo. My only account at WF was the CD. They wouldn't cash it. I moved the CD shortly after.

I seem to remember that one of the local banks here wouldn't even make change for me because I didn't have an account.

Because the bank can't guarantee that $5. The government will guarantee the $340k.

Quoted: Was the check drawn on an account at that bank? I had a bank refuse to cash a check drawn on one of their accounts! I had checked my bank account and found it $ 1000 lighter. I called and was told that a woman who had paid me $ 1000, owed me another $ 3000 and never paid me and put a stop payment on the check. The check was from two months before! How do you stop a check that was paid months and months ago? My bank said some banks will let a stop go through up to six months later. Of course this vermin was from out of state and knew I was not going to waste time trying to sue her in Texas. So anyway right after that a woman came in and wrote me a check. I knew she did not have the greatest reputation and so I figured I'd go to her bank and cash it. They refused to cash their own check because I did not have an account there! I have refused ever since then to take a check from Key Bank ever since. |

OK... well... you know... NO. |

I had an auto loan with Wells Fargo which I thought would allow me to do some banking there. I went in to do a currency exchange and was told I could not until I opened a checking account. They have every right to have those requirements. I also have no problem moving my auto loan to a bank who will let me access services with just an auto loan. |

You have to wait 3 days for them to admit the money electronically transferred is actually in your account.
I can have someone mail a USPS money order, go to the post office and cash it in the same time period.

I've done that before. Open the account, they cash the check, I walk out, turn around, walk back in, and tell them to close the account.
