Question 5

What is a money order?

Accepted Answer

A [money order](https://www.moneytreeinc.com/services/money\-orders/) is a prepaid paper document used as a secure form of payment, similar to a personal check. Money orders are a safe, affordable and convenient alternative to managing a checking account. Neither the sender nor the recipient needs a bank account to purchase or cash a money order. Unlike personal checks, money orders do not display your bank account or routing numbers to the recipient. Money orders are available up to $1,000 each and can be purchased at any Moneytree retail branch location.
