A non-foreign check with a valid  9-digit Federal Reserve Bank routing number is considered a domestic check and can be processed. This includes any check drawn on a bank located in Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, or Northern Mariana islands that are cleared normally through the Federal Reserve bank. Regulation CC (hold) guidelines apply to these items (also see the Regulation CC Hold form).

Checks presented with the legal line and/or numerical amount written in a foreign language cannot be accepted.
