Does Wal-Mart cash financial aid school refund checks?

Question

I'll be getting one soon and don't have a bank account and wasn't sure if Wal-Mart cashed those sorts of checks.

Answer 1

Why not use the check to open your bank account on Monday?

Answer 2

Actually I was in there returning something the other day and a girl ahead of me was cashing one...well TRYING to cash one.

They do cash them, but there is a limit on how large of an amount they cash. Just call the one in your town and ask them.

And if your school draws it's refund checks from a bank (vs. the check saying it comes from the state treasury on it) you can always go to that bank and cash it without needing an account there =)
