Has anyone from the US successfully cashed their US Covid stimulus checks here in Tokyo ? I’ve seen that smbc will do it through their prestia account but there is a 2000 yen monthly charge for the account - are there any other options here ? I have no US bank account
Thanks in advance.

There are many ways to get the Prestia monthly cost waived...

I see from your past posts that you've set up an account at interactive brokers. Have you tried cashing the check via them?
