Deposit - Money Order and Check - problem

<p>If you accept a school’s offer, you will need to send them a deposit through money order or check. How would you go about doing this if you’re international. Can you send them a HSBC check (cheque)? And I think money order only works in the US. I need help from someone who’s experienced this sort of problem before!</p>

<p>im assuming it’s the same way you sent them your application fee-</p>

<p>international money order. you can get them at thomas cook or any other similar agency</p>

<p>most colleges also accepts major credit/debit cards</p>

<p>There are colleges that don’t accept credit cards, so usually a check seems to be the easiest way to do it.</p>

<p>I don’t know the town or country you’re from, tenniscraze, but this is how it works in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia:</p>

<p>Walk in any bank and ask if they can issue a check to be used in the US for you. If they can, you’ll have to pay the bank
–the dollars you want to send via this check
–a check fee.
Then they’ll make you fill in some stuff and then give you a little paper form - that’s your check. Now all you have to do is send it to your college/university. They’ll take care of the rest.</p>

<p>On my check, besides the logo of my bank, there was another one – the logo of JP Morgan. I guess this is the US bank which cashes my bank’s checks in the States.</p>

<p>This is all I know about checks :).</p>

<p>Thanks lorddragon. None of the unis I applied to has the option of sending the deposit via credit card - in fact I don’t think any uni offers this option unless you specifically request it. So it’s either I ask for an international money order or request a cheque that can be cashed in the US, yes?</p>

<p>I guess so :).</p>

<p>I got mine today :slight_smile: It says it’s for ‘Bank of New York’.</p>
