i.e. what activity is 'authorising' a monetary transaction and what activity is 'posting' a monetary transaction

authorizing a transaction is passing it to be entered / posted into the finances of the company whereas posting is just entering it into the system so its the later stage of the first

It varies with the store.  Each store deposits their money differently.  Most major stores will deposit their money on the same day, meaning it gets posted the next business day or they deposit the money the following day, which makes the posting two days later.  Smaller retail stores post as little as once a week and then you will have to wait longer.  Although they say the process is faster, it almost always takes about the same amount of time as a regular check.

The Patriot & Anti Money Laundering Regs require anyone, even clerks to notify the government if they think anything is odd. Anybody's opinion or fear of not reporting can trigger a report. It is a worry but I don't think you do anything-it doesn't matter what amount anymore.\n\nBy the way, the clerk or bank is also required to keep the reporting a secret from  you.\n\nThis from http://www.occ.treas.gov/handbook/bsa.pdf:                   :\n\nSuspicious Activity Reporting Requirements\n\nAn effective BSA compliance program includes controls and measures to identify and timely report suspicious transactions. A financial institution must apply due diligence to be able to make an informed decision about the suspicious nature of a particular transaction and whether to file a suspicious activity report (SAR). SARs can be filed on any transaction occurring in any\nbank department.\n\nI hold a securities license and have taken the Anti Money Laundering tests. Believe me, it's true. Have your bank or security firms rules changed? Everyone scrambled to comply. Banking firms had systems already set up to catch the $10,000 rule-they've just recoded a bit...

It another way is indicating the total amount due.\n\nI write a blog on the subject of credit management, mortgages, real estate trends, etc. Check it out for more information that may be helpful.

Sure you can.  Go ahead and continue through the payment process.  As long as you don't commit the transaction, it won't be posted.  If you run into issues, just contact customer care and they will be glad to take your info.

You should contact the Bank directly and ask them.  You won't get any good answers here.

I know that this was the case in Canada and possibly other Commonwealth countries but I'm not sure it applied everywhere. The most official place to check would be the Bank Act (the federal legislation that sets up banking and establishes the standards that must be met).  If it is on line it will be linkable from the federal website.  Since cheques have to be MICR encoded now, the act has probably been changed but maybe not.

Surely, the existence of merchant accounts overseas is normal, but I'd be cautious about working with someone who is offering services as an offshore entity unless you're confident they are a legitimate entity.  There's lots of room for fraud, going this route.

Some banks are set up to do this and some are not.\n\nYour bank should tell you.\n\nIMHO it is no different than sending a check.

if you are running 2 sep. entity sets of books then you need to have an account set up for a receivable and payable of some kind or an exchange account. you did not say what the transfer is for so it is hard to give you the exact details.

Write your name, address, what you are paying for, so the recipient knows what the money order is for.  I would also suggest to make a copy of the money order for your own records.

You responded to my question on authorization denials- whether they needed to be reported to the card holder or not.  Your answer was the most articulate and seemingly knowledgeable I received- I'm not in the banking industry so have to take your word for it.\n\nYou're looking for some wisdom eh?  Write a book in the spare time you play talking to countless throngs that use venues like this as entertainment.  You're much to intelligent and well written to waste your time drumming up silly questions just to fill a void of loneliness.\n\nI don't mean to preach to you and perhaps I exceed some kind of protocol here but there was something in your posting that sparked me to write.  \n\nHave you read the book The Celestine Prophecy?  Don't even think DaVinci code here.  Proph is a fun book and will make your brain ticker melt down with possibility.  \n\nThanks for answering my question.  I hope you meet someone out there who fills your void.
