How to Send a Western Union Money Order

Step 1: Visit a Check City location.
Step 2: Fill out the money order form. On the money order form you will fill out some information about yourself and the receiver so the money can get to the right recipient. This information includes things like both the recipient and sender's names and addresses. You might also need to show the teller's your photo ID to verify your identity.


Step 3:Pay for the money order and the fees. You'll need to pay the full amount of the money you want to send along with any additional service fees. You will also get a Western Union tracking number when you purchase a money order that will help you keep track of your purchase.




How to Cash a Money Order

Step 1: Visit a Check City location. Bring a physical copy of the money order along with your photo ID to verify you are the correct recipient.
Step 2: Endorse the money order. At the teller counter, endorse the money order with your signature. This is similar to how you would endorse a check before cashing it.
Step 3:Pay any applicable money order fees and get your funds. Any fees you might have to pay will simply come out of the money you receive from the money order. Don't forget to secure your cash in a safe place before leaving the teller's counter. Before the transaction is truly complete you want to secure the funds in an envelope or wallet.
