A money order is a convenient payment method similar to an official bank check. When you pay with one, you are guaranteeing that you have the funds for a payment.

Money Orders from Altura

What is a Money Order?

You can pay with a money order just like you would with a check. The big difference is that they are always prepaid. When you use a money order as payment, whoever you’re paying knows that you’re good for the amount.

Money Orders:

  • Funds come straight out of your Altura Credit Union account
  • Issued up to $1,000
  • Does not require the name of a payee

When to Use Money Orders

A money order is useful in instances when using cash or a personal check aren’t accepted for payment.  Here are some examples where money orders are the best payment method:

  • You need to send a payment more securely
  • You need to pay rent or utilities
  • You’re mailing money to a relative

If you have a Wealth Builder account with Altura, you qualify for complimentary money orders. To purchase a money order, visit your local Altura branch.
