Cashier’s Check

When you need a safe way to make a big payment, we’re here to help! A cashier’s check is a secure payment method issued by a bank, typically used for large transactions. You can obtain a cashier’s check by contacting or visiting a location near you. You’ll need to provide the payee, the dollar amount, and any memo information. Customers are allowed to one free cashier’s check per day. Additional checks are available for purchase, please refer to our Fee Schedule for details.

Money Orders

Need a secure way to send money? Money orders are a great option when you want a guaranteed form of payment. They’re withdrawn directly from your account and can be purchased for a fee (see our Fee Schedule for details). Available to customers only, our money orders can be made out for any amount up to $5,000, giving you flexibility and peace of mind for those important transactions.

Stop Payment Info

Sometimes, mistakes happen – maybe you’ve written the wrong amount on a check, sent it to the wrong person, or decided to cancel a payment altogether. Whatever the reason, we’re here to help you take control. A stop payment allows you to prevent a check you’ve written from being cashed or deposited.

You can initiate a stop payment by logging into online banking, using our mobile app, or contacting us directly. Before requesting a stop payment, make sure to verify that the check hasn’t already cleared your account or been stopped another way. There is a fee for each stop payment placed; please refer to our Fee Schedule for details.
