I've never really trusted check cashing places. They always felt shady or like they were just too good to be true. But my experience at the MoneyTree on El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego has definitely made me reconsider how I've handled a lot of my financial needs.
These days, unless it's your own bank branch, you're usually paying a fee anyway. At MoneyTree, they create a profile for you in case you ever need a payday advance, a loan, a money transfer through Western Union, or even just need to cash a check like I did today. It gave me peace of mind knowing that if my family ever hits a financial bump, there are options available.
All of this was explained by Valeria, a super knowledgeable, approachable, and BEAUTIFUL young woman. She made me feel reassured and educated, answering even my dumbest questions without making me feel dumb. Because of her, I know I'll be back if I ever find myself in a financial bind again.
😄 Thanks, Valeria! See you soon, MoneyTree.
