Upon receipt of my Visa statement I noticed a discrepancy of €100, representing the amount via a foreign cheque which I sent along with my payment.

I sought to enquire immediately as to the reason for this lacuna. A very efficient lady clerk informed me that it takes 30 days for a foreign cheque to be cleared.

This is rather incomprehensible in this day and age. When the whole globe is available at a soft digital touch, taking 30 days to have a foreign cheque cleared baffles me.

An explanation from BOV is solicited and would be in order.
