How long does it take a money order to clear the bank?

Answer by  patti (29325)

A money order is backed by cash and so it can be credited immediately, depending on your lender's policies. The bank may want to wait a two to seven days to make sure it is not a counterfeit document. The bank can also call the issuer of the money order to verify its authenticity.

This depends on where the Money Order came from and what your bank policy is. It could be anywhere from 24 hrs to 7 days. Call your bank and ask.

That really depends on the bank and who issued the money order. It can take anywhere from 2 days which is common, to 2 weeks which is uncommon in this day and age. The larger the sum of money, the longer the order will take as the bank will not front large sums.
