 |
|
If I get a money order from Nonghyup or another bank what do I look for to make sure it can be cashed in the US?
I know it needs to be in US Dollars.
Does it need a routing number and account number like a check?
If they give me a bank check instead will it still work?

| AMEX Traveler's Cheques, all the way dude. They're secure, insured, and reliably exchanged anywhere in the world that you'd want to go. Don't risk any nonsense with Korean bank-issued checks. |

I believe the difference between a money order and traverlwes checks is that you cant...............actually i dont know!
I usually just purchase a money order if i need to send someone money or if i want stash some money in my US bank acct. Its cheaper than wiring it. |

Except that I'm in podunk. I'm looking at missing a day of work and a bus ride to buy a money order. If I wire it to my fathers account then I'm looking at around 13000 won here and I think my father said his bank told him $10 to receive it.
I'm guessing the exchange rate might be a little better on the wire transfer though. Do they charge the cash rate for money orders? -Jeff |
