If you have a money order you don't need, you have a few options. First, if it’s unsigned, you can present it to any bank or the issuing institution and get the amount refunded or deposited into your account. If you’ve already signed it, you might endorse it over to someone else, but remember to check the issuer's policy first. Alternatively, contact the issuing institution to inquire about cancellation and refund options. There may be a fee, but it’s a practical way to recover your funds.
