According to the USPS web site, postal money orders can be cashed at banks and other financial institutions. I'm not sure what you mean by "my postal money order". If the money order was written to you, then your friend shouldn't be able to cash it. If you bought the money order and wrote it to her, then she should be able to cash it.


What is the different between postal order and money order?

A postal order is a financial instrument issued by postal services that allows individuals to send money through the mail, typically for small amounts. It is often used for domestic transactions and can be cashed at post offices. In contrast, a money order is a payment order for a pre-specified amount, issued by various entities such as banks or retail stores, and can be used for both domestic and international payments. Money orders usually have a wider acceptance and can be purchased from multiple sources, while postal orders are more limited to postal service locations.


How long is a postal money order good for?

Domestic money orders are paid regardless of the time passed since their issue. Money orders are not interest-bearing instruments; they are paid only in the exact amount imprinted up to the authorized maximum amount. USPS records serve as the basis for adjudicating claims for payment of money orders. From Domestic Mail Manual 503 http://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/503.htm#wp1150680


Can you cancel a money order?

The money orders I have encountered were as good as gold to the purchaser right up until they were made out to someone else, at which point they were worth something only if redeemed by that person; and, as such, there was no earthly reason or benefit to be gained from any type of cancellation. Money orders can, however, expire. And, where a crime has occurred concerning the theft of money orders which have been registered, the attempt to pass a stolen money order is handled much in the same way as attempting to pass counterfeit currency of other types. At least, that is my understanding. jb

What is the policy on counterfeit postal money orders and the responsibility of the bank and the clerk?

Counterfeit postal money orders, like counterfeit money, cannot legally be deposited in a bank account. Bank clerks are not required to absolutely verify the status of a money order before accepting it, and the bank is not required to honor it in any case. The responsibility of a clerk who pays out money erroneously is subject to the policy of the individual bank. But the bank account holder is ultimately liable for all counterfeit or fictitious items deposited or cashed through their account.
