Check to see if you purchased the money order from a bank. If so, visit the bank for the appropriate form to track the money order. Bank fees vary. Citizens Financial Bank, for instance, charges $8 to trace or to refund a lost or stolen money order. Determine if you bought the money order from Wal-Mart or another retail store.
Money orders are an inexpensive and secure method of sending funds almost anywhere in the world. Money orders are useful partly because they are prepaid.
If a business owner uses a money order to pay for a supply or service from a vendor, he doesn’t have to worry about a check being returned for insufficient funds or cash being lost in the mail. If a money order winds up missing, it can be traced and replaced.
Just submit an inquiry and the provider tracks the missing money order for you. If the money order has not been cashed, it will be replaced.
