Redesign Enhances Current Security Features<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WASHINGTON, DC \u2014 The U.S. Postal Service is introducing a new, redesigned money order.<\/p>\n

The new design will enhance already strong security features to further deter counterfeiting and other fraudulent activities. It will be released in February 2025.<\/p>\n

The current, or \u201clegacy,\u201d postal money order will be sold until stock is depleted. The newly designed money order features a new bank routing number and is red, white and blue in color.\u00a0 It will be phased into public circulation and will eventually be available at all\u00a0Post Office locations<\/a>. Both designs will continue to be accepted at postal retail units and financial institutions as trusted forms of payment.<\/p>\n

Additional information is available on the\u00a0Sending Money Orders<\/a>\u00a0page on\u00a0usps.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Security features<\/strong>
\nWhile the Postal Service cannot disclose every new security element, watermarks, a security thread and a Quick Response (QR) code that directs to the USPS website are some of the new features of the enhanced money order.<\/p>\n

The public can rest assured that USPS money orders are among the most secure financial instruments in the world.<\/p>\n

Additional information on money-order verification is available at\u00a0usps.com<\/a>\u00a0on the\u00a0Sending Money Orders<\/a>\u00a0page under \u201cReceiving Money Orders \u2014 How to Spot a Fake<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
