This explains my curiousity

Which is best Malaysia bank to bank in U.S. check?

Generally, the exchange rate and check processing time are about the same among local banks. The exchange rate is between 3.77 to 3.78. The time to process the check will take about one month.

According to the thread I started in WebmasterMalaysia.com and readers’ feedback, here is the comparison of US check processing fee(per check) between different Malaysia local banks. Not sorted in any order.
Note: Result is compiled from the forum thread and comments in this page, no personal verification done. If you have updated information of any bank’s check processing fee, please let us know in the comment.

* Hong Leong Bank: RM50 + RM10 (courier) + USD75 (Citibank Delaware)
* MayBank::
o 0.1% of the cheque amount drawn in RM with minimum of RM25.00 and maximum of RM100.00
* PublicBank:
o 0.1% of cheque amount (min: RM20, max: RM100)

o The 0.1% is only applicable if it is above USD 1000.

    hmmmm ... the banks in malaysia sure know how to squeeze customers in service charges eh? ask your bank for a flat monthly service fee if you intend to do a lot of such transactions (assuming they have such a service) .. but no harm asking..
    cheers
