 TITLE: The Difference Between a Money Order and a Cashier’s Check CONTENT: When to Use a Cashier's Check\n-----------------------------\nCashier's checks are typically used when you need to make a large purchase and are asked to bring guaranteed funds—like when you are closing on a home or purchasing a new car. Rather than carrying around a bag of cash, cashier's checks offer a great way to securely transport and facilitate large payments.\nCashier's checks are also great options for people with bank accounts who need to make payments with certified funds. To get a cashier's check, you'll have to go to your bank and first make sure you have enough funds to cover the check amount. (The bank will hold your funds until the check is cashed.) You'll then ask the teller for the cashier's check, give them the recipient's information and pay the fee associated with the check. END
