What is a Money Order?
A money order is like a prepaid check. It’s a payment order for a specified amount of money. You can use money orders to pay bills or make purchases. Funds are prepaid, so money orders can be cashed or deposited without worrying about non-sufficient funds fees.

Go to your nearest Speedy Cash location to purchase a money order.
