Content: Depending on the rules of your recipient’s own bank, you might be able to deposit this check directly into their account, or send the original or a scanned copy to your recipient for them to deposit themselves. If your recipient intends to deposit the check in a branch or using an ATM they’ll need the original - but if their bank offers a mobile deposit service they may only require a scan of the front and back of the check to get started. It’s worth noting though, that funds deposited using a check are not available immediately. The check will need to clear which can take anything from a few hours to a few days. 5. Money orders
If you don’t want to use a check - or don’t have a checkbook linked to your account - you might also be able to use a money order to make a payment. In this case, you’ll need to buy a money order at any Post Office - some large stores also stock them. Complete the order to detail how much you want to send, up to a maximum of USD1,000 for a single order. You’ll then pay the cashier for the money order, and receive a receipt to help track the payment. A money order won’t go directly to your recipient’s account, but they can either deposit it or cash the order at a Post Office or bank.
