United Check Cashing
 

Owning a United Check Cashing business is the closest thing you can do in franchising to owning a bank. United Check Cashing centers provide a wide assortment of vital services, in addition to just check cashing, to the "underbanked" segment of consumers seeking an alternative to traditional banking relationships and the growing fees associated with banks. Our franchisees operate clean, bright, safe retail centers located in urban and suburban markets, and they pride themselves on building strong consumer relationships through friendly, courteous, and prompt service not usually associated with today's banks.
