Safe, convenient and simple

As a secure, cashable document guaranteed by Canada Post, a postal Money Order is a safe and worry-free way to send money. A postal Money Order is a convenient alternative to cash or cheque when you need to send certified money by mail to pay bills such as utilities or telephone services or for a financial or retail purchase. And it's a great way to pay for online purchases when shopping on services like eBay™!

The service guarantee offers refunds of lost, destroyed or otherwise uncashed Money Orders after a 45-day waiting period (some conditions apply) upon request from the purchaser. The waiting period is necessary to ensure the Money Order clears through the Canadian or international payment process.
