postal money order
Prepaid mail check
A postal money order is a prepaid payment instrument issued by a national postal service, functioning like a check but guaranteed by the issuing authority rather than a personal bank account.
Buyers pay the face amount plus a small fee, making it a secure way to send money through the mail when the recipient doesn't accept personal checks or when the sender lacks a bank account.
I picked up a postal money order at the post office to pay my rent.
