Wal-Mart Will Cash Your Stimulus Checks

BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- Wal-Mart says it won't charge a fee to cash customers' economic stimulus checks.

The world's largest retailer said Tuesday that no purchase would be required. Wal-Mart typically charges up to $3 to cash payroll or government checks.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says customers can also, without charge, load the stimulus checks onto the company's Wal-Mart MoneyCard, which acts as a prepaid debit card. The company's Sam's Club warehouse stores will also cash the checks at no charge.
