postal order

Sent money voucher

A postal order is a certificate purchased from a post office for a specified amount, used to send money safely through the mail.

The recipient cashes it at their own post office.

Common in British and Commonwealth countries, postal orders function like money orders but are issued exclusively through postal systems: She sent a postal order for ten pounds.
