Postal Money Orders
Send money securely through the mail with a postal money order.
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 eBayTM!
