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 :) It says it's for 'Bank of New York'.</p>
