if he can write a personal check, he can write a certified check. (a free alternative to Money Orders offered though your bank)

The only reason you'd write a certified check is if you mail it.

if he can get a certified check, he can get cash.




When I worked retail (1997 to 2001) it was a guarantee that armed forces checks would bounce.

fuck that, verifying funds only guarantees that the funds were there when you called. have the dude take you to his bank, where you will cash the check and exchange it for a certified check, or cash if you dont mind hauling it around until you get to your bank.....
