How Does Walmart Check Cashing Work?

Don’t have a bank account but need to cash your check? Just take it to Walmart. You can cash a $1,000 check for only $3 or up to a $5,000 check for only $6.

What if you need more than your payroll check to make it to the end of the month? You can be approved instantly to get up to $1,000 to cover your everyday expenses. See if a short term loan is right for you.

But back to our original problem: personal check cashing.
