Short Answer — Walmart Neighborhood Market cashes checks at its Money Service center. There is a $5,000 amount limit and a fee of $3 to $6, depending on the check amount. It also cashes money orders with the same limits and fees — but only those purchased from the same store location.

Please note that Walmart Neighborhood Market Money Centers (located at customer service) are only open certain hours, which vary by location, and may not be open during the same hours that the Walmart Neighborhood Market is open. The money center, generally, is open 7 a.m. – 10 p.m., but you’ll want to double check money center hours with your local Walmart Neighborhood Market.
