Get a Money Order at Check City

A money order is a prepaid payment for a specific amount. It can be useful when a recipient does not accept cash or a personal check, or when you want a payment method that is separate from a checking account. Visit a Check City store to ask about current money-order availability, limits, fees, and requirements.

How to Purchase a Money Order

Step 1: Confirm the exact recipient name and payment amount before visiting.
Step 2: Bring the required identification and an accepted form of payment.
Step 3: Tell the store team the amount you need and review the applicable fee.
Step 4: After purchase, complete the purchaser and recipient fields carefully and keep the receipt or stub.

What To Bring

Requirements may vary by amount and transaction. You may need a valid government-issued photo ID, your Social Security number or other identifying information, the money-order amount, and an accepted form of payment. Contact the store before visiting for a larger transaction.

Protect Your Payment

Fill in the recipient information promptly, keep your receipt, and do not send a money order to someone you do not know in response to an unexpected request. A legitimate payment method can still be used in a scam. Contact the issuer immediately if a money order is lost, stolen, or altered.

Payday Loans are also commonly referred to as Cash Advances, Payday Advances, Payday Advance Loans, and Fast Cash Loans. Check City may, at its discretion, verify application information by using national consumer loan underwriting databases that may include information relating to previous cash advance transactions that Check City may take into consideration in the approval process. Approval, products, and loan terms may vary based on applicant qualifications and applicable state or federal law. See Rates and Fees for specific information and requirements. Some customers applying for payday loans or installment loans may be required to submit additional documentation due to state law and qualification criteria. CheckCity.com provides loan services in: Alabama, Alaska, California, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
