Money Mart (previously The Check Cashing Store)

Money Mart, operating under the brand The Check Cashing Store, is a financial services company owned by Dollar Financial Group, Inc. The company has established a network of retail locations providing alternative financial services to consumers who may lack traditional banking access or need quick cash solutions.

The company's core service offerings include check cashing, cash advance loans, MoneyGram money transfers, money orders, mobile check cashing, small business services, and prepaid cards (Momentum Prepaid Mastercard). Cash advance loans are available in retail stores across Alaska, Arizona, California, Louisiana, and Florida, with online applications limited to California and Louisiana. Money orders, MoneyGram transfers, and check cashing services are available at their store locations.

Money Mart distinguishes itself through its multi-service approach, positioning itself as a "one-stop money services destination" rather than focusing on a single product. The company operates extended hours (9 AM-8 PM weekdays, 9 AM-6 PM Saturday) and provides a mobile app for check cashing functionality. Their prepaid card offering is issued by The Bancorp Bank and distributed through InComm Financial Services.

As a check-cashing and short-term lending provider, Money Mart serves consumers in financial transition but carries inherent limitations. The company explicitly disclaims that short-term loans should not be used as long-term financial solutions, and fees vary by state. Eligibility for loans depends on income verification and credit approval. Consumers should be aware that short-term lending can become expensive if used repeatedly.
