Money Orders in
the Chicago
Suburbs

What Is a Money Order?

A money order is a slip of paper that can be used as payment, similar to a personal check. They are purchased upfront, meaning they are an accepted form of payment virtually everywhere.

Money orders are a convenient and safe way to send money, whether you’re paying rent, sending a gift, or repaying a debt. When filling out a money order, you will need to provide the recipient’s name and address, as well as your own name and address.

You must pay for the money order with cash or a debit card. After you have purchased it, you can mail it to the recipient or deliver it in person.

Benefits of a Currency Exchange Money Order

Buying a money order offers several advantages over paying with cash or a check.

Less Likely to Bounce

Money orders are a type of payment that is less likely to bounce than a personal check. This is because when you purchase it, you are essentially paying for the guarantee that the money will be paid out to the recipient.

Safe and Secure

Unlike cash, money orders can be traced if lost or stolen. Additionally, they do not require a bank account, so there is no risk of overdraft fees.

Convenient to Use

Money orders are a convenient way to pay bills or send money to friends and family. Most businesses also accept them. So if you are looking for an alternative to cash or checks, money orders may be the right choice.
