Mark Rosenfelder mentions Quechua <ch> as a palatal *stop*,
but I think it's really an affricate (in many books I've seen
those two categories placed together). And the Cuzco dialect
of Quechua has three of them, unaspirated <ch>, aspirated
<chh> and glotalized <ch'> (!)

I've also seen <ch> and <chh> in Sanskrit transliteration.
I don't see a reason why <ch> couldn't be /tS/, so that'd
be another example. Anybody knows?
