What kind of bank account do I need to deposit a check of $10 million / $100 million / $1 billion dollars?

Common checking is actually suffice, as the most I've ever seen in a checking was slightly 100mm. Though, you would never put it in one checking because FDIC only insures about 250K. Unless you own a business, someone who has that kind of money would diversify it, maybe to different banks, high yields saving, CDs and etc.

Chances are if you go to a retail bank to open a checking account, I guarantee they will get their FA to bombard you with their investment products.

if you just want to do banking, any bank will do, but expect the funds to be on hold for a while and for you to get a MASSIVE amount of questions on the source of funds (AML rules and all)

why are you asking

any bank is fine. There are different relationship tiers & most banks have elevated service for select members

It's possible, but like thebrofessor said, you'll get rammed out the ass with questions about the sources and probably a pretty extensive KYC background check, among other things.

another question, why are you getting a check for that much money? why not have the money wired?

Chase Private banking is probably where I’d go, if this is a serious question.

A common checking or savings account will do it. They will keep your funds locked for a while, bombard you with questions worth $1 billion, after the funds are deposited they will call you every week to "let you know about their investment products"

I'd go with Coutts if you are in the UK, Chase as mentioned above for US. Wells Fargo will be a good option

when the value is that high, you don't call it a check. you call it a cheque

why on earth would anyone be holding a billion in cash
