Quoted from rogerroger:Shouldn't a seller be able to cash this check even though they do not have an account there?
Depends on the bank and their policies, but yes, you can cash checks drawn on other branches/states and get cash instantly, with no recourse.
Some banks are branded the same, but not really the same entities across state lines, so they may not cash them. A quick call to your local branch will determine if it is an option for you.
I use SunTrust and have met sellers at the bank when buying cars out of state. I write the check to the seller, he cashes it on the spot, I get the title.
Good luck.
