United Check Cashing Franchise Opportunity
United Check Cashing provides valuable services to people who prefer to manage their money on a simple cash basis. According to the Federal Reserve Board’s Survey of Consumer Finances, nearly 13% of families in the U.S. did not have a checking account. This survey also indicated that the majority of these consumers are “un-banked” by choice.
A recent report by Dove Consulting for the U.S. Department of the Treasury reveals that about 11,000 check-cashing outlets in the United States cash more than US$60 billion worth of checks annually. Consumers cashing these checks are typically blue and white-collar workers that make their living in retail and service industries such as restaurants, hotels, auto repair, landscaping, daycare and line manufacturing.
United Check Cashing centers meet this demand for convenient cash management by offering better hours and more accessible locations than a typical bank. We cash their checks, with no holds while it clears the banking system, for just a couple of pennies on the dollar. We also assist them in paying their bills, wiring money and a host of other financial transactions.
Is this the right business for me?
Our most successful operators enjoy the benefits of being in a community-based business. They understand the value of providing their customers with prompt, friendly and courteous service.
