Hey, i was just wondering if ever cashed out a check for $25 here, how will i turn into cash?

Also, are there any fees?

*I'm not 18

if you don't have a bank account then you should still be able to cash out a check if you want.

once you get the check you can just sign it over to one of your parents or friends that have a bank account. then they'll be able to cash it for you no problem.

and no, there are no fees when receiving checks, that's a plus for fusion cash since a lot of other sites i know will charge a fee.

I can understand not having a checking account at your age -- no special deals and the fees can be excessive.

But you should be able to get a saving account with any bank or saving and loan without fees.  That would allow you to cash the check (or deposit the check and withdraw it after the check cleared).

(Of course I'm remembering when I was in my teens and the banks went out of their way to encourage young people to save their money early on.  Might be different today.)

Before I opened a checking/saving account for my FusionCash earnings, I gave my checks to my mother and she cashed them for me.

I guess its best to give to a relative to have them cash it for you.At least till you do turn 18, the the paypal or banks come into play.

I use PayPal and have a PayPal debit card. Try that. Direct deposit to your account.

You are old enough to have a savings account.  Tell your parents to take you to the bank to set one up.  They should have done that a long time ago.

I beleive in our area you can take a check to walmart and cash it.  If you put it on one of their prepaid cards  they wont charge you a fee.   Also some of the banks in connecticut allow you to have a checking account when you are 16 but you can always use a savings account.
