If you can put a stop payment on a money order will depend on the type of money you purchased, if it was drawn or purchased from a private bank or credit union in most cases you can. If your money order was purchased through another financial entity such as a check cashing center or convenience store you most like cannot put a stop payment on it, if it was lost or stolen you can file a claim by
. completing a form for refund. Some banks and credit unions no longer offer money orders their considered cashiers checks and can be treated as checks or money orders upon deposit. Due to the recent increase in fraudulent money orders most companies that issue them outside of a bank or credit union no longer allow individuals to put a stop payment on money orders. There are also additional fees associated with filing a claim that range between $15-$24 to file claim for lost or stolen money order.
