It won’t cash personal checks, expired checks, post-dated checks, and savings bond checks. See our research for places that cash personal checks.
Requirements
To cash a check at King Soopers, you’ll need:
- Your check (government, payroll, tax refund, insurance, or corporate check — no personal checks)

King Soopers uses Certegy to authorize checks before cashing them. Certegy runs checks against its databases to determine whether to approve or deny them, with the intention of reducing the risk of accepting checks for merchants.

Benefits of Using a 123 Rewards Card
King Soopers offers an option to load the cash from your check directly onto a 123 Rewards Card. Usually, it costs $3 to load money onto your 123 Rewards Card, but if you load the cash from your check directly onto the card, this fee will be waived.
You might also want to load your check directly onto a 123 Rewards Card if you’d prefer not to carry around cash, for safety concerns or other reasons.
The 123 Rewards Card is a prepaid Visa debit card, which you can use like cash anywhere that accepts Visa. The more you use the card, the more reward points you accumulate, and those points go toward savings on groceries and fuel at King Soopers.
Every 1,000 points automatically earn $5 in free groceries. You can accumulate three points for every dollar spent on a Kroger family brand product, two points for every dollar spent in a Kroger family store (excluding fuel centers), and one point for every dollar spent on anything else.
