What is the difference between a money order and cashiers check?
Certified checks are rarely used in today's banking world. They formerly signified that a bank was certifying that the funds represented by the customer's check were actually in the account. They are so uncommon that I've had a handful of bankers call me over the last ten years asking about the procedure for creating a certified check! They had never had the occasion to certify one before. A cashier's check is a check drawn by a bank on an account maintained at the same bank. A money order can be a one-shot checking account, or can be the equivalent of a cashier's check, depending on how it is made up, who the drawer is, what it is drawn on.
