Post Office Money Order?

Question

How do I cash a post office money order? Do I take it to the post office or the bank?

Answer 1

ummmm I would say..... to the post office....they issued it..

Answer 2

You could do either - especially if you have a bank acocount. But the post office would be better:
"However, because money orders are paid through the postal service rather than the usual check clearing system, they often take longer to "bounce" than an ordinary check. When this finally occurs it is charged back to the victim, who may already have sent back the funds, for which he or she must take the loss. For this reason banks are now applying increased scrutiny to incoming money orders, and are becoming more reluctant to accept them. A safer approach is to cash them at a post office. In this case, the authenticity of the item is immediately determined, and if deemed good, the holder is paid and absolved of further responsibility for the funds."

Answer 3

You can cash it at the post office. Most banks will cash them for you if you have an account with them.

Answer 4

You can cash them at your post office or any bank you have an account with.

Answer 5

Definitely the Bank

Answer 6

Go to the post office and ask them that question...or call them. You didn't say what kind of money order...they'll probably need to know that.

Answer 7

NOW THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. THINK I'D TRY THE BANK. I'VE GOTTEN P.O. MONEY ORDERS BEFORE BUT NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE TO CASH THEM. GIVE YOUR BANK A CALL AND THEY'LL TELL YOU.

Answer 8

You take it to a bank. Is it made out to you? If it is, it's trated like a check, except the bank knows it's good.

Answer 9

These are negotiable just as your paycheck any check cashier or bank
