The exact process varies from issuer to issuer. After about 30 days, the issuer typically sends a copy of the endorsed money order showing who cashed or deposited it, and when or a notice that the money order has not yet been cashed. However, you can track money order payments by placing a request with the money order issuer. If you pay with cash, you won't see any evidence of the money order clearing in your bank transaction history. It is possible to track money orders, but it may take some effort and a bit of money. When you make a purchase with a money order, you may want to know if your payment has been received and cashed by the person it was intended for.
