What is the difference between a cashiers check and a money order?
Cashier’s checks are available only at a bank or other financial institution. Money orders are available at banks and grocery stores and other convenience stores. Anyone asking for any kind of a check typically will accept a cashier’s check. Some businesses are cautious about accepting money orders since they can be cancelled so the funds aren’t guaranteed. Money orders do not expire and cashier’s checks typically have an expiration date. ChaCha knows best.
