check casher

Paper-to-cash business

A check casher is a business that converts checks to cash for a fee, typically serving people without bank accounts.

These storefronts are common in lower-income neighborhoods and offer immediate payment rather than the waiting period banks require: The check casher on the corner takes 3% of every paycheck.

Also called a check-cashing service.
