 TITLE: How Does a Money Order Work? CONTENT: A Time-Honored, Workable Option\n-------------------------------\nMoney orders are a valid way to exchange money when you're making a large purchase, putting up a security deposit or sending funds through the mail. If you need to purchase or cash a money order, check out your local options, including your financial institution, supermarket, local Walmart or even the post office. Money orders aren't necessarily the fastest or most secure payment choice in the digital age, but they're a workable, affordable option that doesn't require good credit or a bank account. END
