Official Checks and Money Orders

Securely make payments to a business or individual.

Official Checks

There are more ways than ever before to pay for goods and services. Sometimes, a check is still your best bet. Local business transactions and mortgage closings often require official checks, where the funds are guaranteed by the bank, rather than the individual. Many people also prefer to use official checks, sometimes called certified checks, for things like cash-purchases of cars or buying items from online classifieds. You can feel more secure in your payment with our certified checks, since they are replaceable if lost or stolen.
