    I have to send a cheque for £20 overseas.

    If I go into a/my bank, will they be able to write a check in £? Or do I have to do something different (like drive up north!).

    Your bank can issue a sterling draft. There are fees for doing so, nothing huge but at the same time it's a lot for £20.

    Can you not do an electronic transfer?

    Depends on the bank. KBC do not issue cheques / bank drafts.

    They won't accept anything other than a cheque... and they're a huge multinational company! I can't understand, and haven't the energy to argue with them.

    Can you not give them a cheque in € to equivalent value?

    Ok then I'll rephrase...the majority of banks issue drafts. That better?
