Money Orders
Is it safe to use money orders?
Money Orders are generally considered a secure payment method, as only the payee can cash or deposit them for the specified amount. By keeping the receipt, you can track your payment and recover funds if the money order is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Can money orders be refunded?
The United States Postal Service offers replacements for damaged, defective, or spoiled money orders at no charge. To qualify, customers must return the negotiable portion of the money order along with the matching customer receipt. Additionally, there are no stop payments on postal money orders.
How can I verify a money order?
To verify the authenticity of a money order, especially if it appears suspicious, individuals can contact the U.S. Postal Service Money Order Verification System using the number 866-459-7822.
Can I cancel a money order?
If a money order hasn’t been cashed yet, it can typically be canceled. To initiate the cancellation process, individuals should verify the status of the money order by contacting the issuer’s customer service number or utilizing the tracking feature on its website.
