How do I Send Money Orders to Seed Banks?
Money orders are one of several methods of payment accepted by most seed banks when placing orders by mail. Along with personal checks and credit or debit cards, money orders serve as a valid proof of payment. Money orders purchased from the post office or another source are negotiable financial instruments and must be filled out correctly by the sender in order for them to be cashed by the recipient as legal tender and to protect the rights of the sender. Money orders are usually produced in duplicate with the top portion where the ink is laid down as the negotiable payment and the remaining copy/copies as a receipt and proof of purchase for the sender. Fill out the lines on the money order form noting the sender’s name and address. Press firmly to ensure that the duplicate copy is legible as this will be your receipt and will be needed for verification, should the original be lost in the post. Fill in the seed bank name and mailing address in the recipient portion of the money order
