How to Track a Western Union Money Order

LOS ANGELES, December 29, 2021 (Newswire.com) - iQuanti: Western Union money orders offer a reliable and accessible way to send and receive money. And once you buy a money order, you can easily track it to make sure it gets delivered to your recipient. All you'll need is the serial number, or an 11-digit tracking number on your Western Union money order record stub. Once you have that in hand, here's how to track a money order from Western Union:

How to track a Western Union money order

You can easily track a Western Union money order and see whether it has been cashed by your recipient by following these steps:

1. Call the Western Union automated help line at (800) 999-9660. 
2. The automated help line will give you a series of menu prompts. Make sure to select "Check the Status of a Money Order" when prompted.
3. You should see an 11-digit serial number on the upper right corner of your Western Union money order record stub. Enter this number when prompted.
4. The automated help line will let you know the status of your money order. You'll be able to find out whether your money order has been cashed by the recipient. If the recipient has already cashed the money order, the automated service will let you know when it was cashed.

Can you track a Western Union money order without the serial number?

If you lose your receipt and don't have the serial number, don't worry — you can still track your money order with other relevant pieces of information by filling out a Western Union Money Order Research Request online. Here's some information you'll need to include:

• Your name, phone number, and full address
• The money order amount, date of purchase, and time of purchase
• The payee's name, if you provided it on the money order
• The full address of the location where you purchased the money order

Keep in mind that Western Union will charge you $30 to research your money order, so only go this route if you know for sure that your receipt is lost.

Buying and filling out a money order only takes a few minutes, allowing you to send money almost anywhere around the world.
