Hy-Vee Check Cashing FAQ: Does Hy-Vee Cash Payroll Checks? etc

Can you cash your payroll check at Hy-Vee? Only in select stores. Because each Hy-Vee location is independently owned, there is no standard check cashing policy and not all stores choose to offer this service. Here is how to find your nearest Hy-Vee store and how to determine if they offer check cashing services. And if they do, we give the answers to other questions you’ll likely want to know…

Does Hy-Vee Cash Checks?

Each Hy-Vee location is independently owned, so it is up to each store owner whether to offer check cashing services. Based on information available on the Hy-Vee website, just a fraction of the stores offer this service. For example, we reviewed 90 Hy-Vee locations in Iowa and found that only 15 offer check cashing services.

You can check if your local Hy-Vee offers check cashing services by searching Hy-Vee’s store locator and searching for your store by zip code, state, or city. After your search, you will be shown a list of Hy-Vee stores in that area. Find your desired store on the list and click ‘store details’. Once on the store detail page, click ‘Department Features’ on the left-hand column. If the selected store offers check cashing services, it will be listed in either the customer service or general merchandise section on that page.

• Requirements: If you have not used Hy-Vee’s check cashing service in the state, you must first enroll in Hy-Vee’s system. To enroll, you are required to provide an in-state, government-issued ID. Several stores surveyed also required a second form of ID to enroll.
• Hours available: Hy-Vee store hours vary from one location to the next. Some stores are open 24 hours and therefore offer 24-hour check cashing services, while other stores have more limited hours, such as 5AM-midnight.
