Plain, sourced answers for check cashing, money orders, and bill pay
Check Desk is a local directory of places where you can cash a check, buy a money order, pay a bill in person, or reload a prepaid card. It is written for people who may not have a bank account and for people who need a desk open after typical bank hours.
Every fact comes from a public official source, with a link and a last-verified date. If a provider does not publish a fee, we say so instead of guessing.
