What is a digital check?
A digital check is an online version of a paper check. It’s a safe and easy way to get paid without a bank account. You can download the PDF, print it out, and take it to a bank or cash-checking service to cash it with a valid ID. Keep in mind that cashing the check might have an extra fee. Learn more here.
What stores and banks are eligible?
You can cash a check at many places, including:
Banks: Your own bank (if you have an account there) or other banks (sometimes with a fee).
Stores: Walmart, Kroger, and more.
Some grocery stores and check-cashing businesses also offer this service. Keep in mind that there may be fees, and you'll need a valid ID to cash the check. It's always a good idea to check ahead to make sure they cash checks and to see if there are any specific requirements.
What is a valid ID?
To cash a check, you can typically use:
Driver’s License
State ID
Passport or Permanent Resident Card
Make sure the ID is not expired. It’s a good idea to confirm with the check-cashing service beforehand.
