How to Cash my stimulus check abroad

I will receive my stimulus check abroad and I don't have a US bank account, only a foreign one.

How can I cash my check?

Most banks will accept a US Treasury check for deposit.  Although they have rules for when the funds can be disbursed after the check has cleared.  If you have a bank with international and US branches it would be easier to deposit the check.

You probably need to deposit the check in the foreign bank and wait for it to clear before drawing it out ... ask your bank for their rules on such matters.
