ISSUE OF MONEY ORDERS.

  1. The maximum amount for which a single Money Order may be issued in New Zealand is as follows :—

For payment in New Zealand—

(a.) To the general public .. .. £40

(b.) Remittances from the public to the Receiver of Land Revenue or Commissioner of Crown Lands, and vice versa £50

(c.) In the case of Orders issued to the tenderer for a mail service there is no limit of amount. (See Rule No. 33.)

For payment beyond the colony—

See Postal Guide, under “List of British and foreign countries and colonies, &c., to which Money Orders may be sent,” &c.

For rates of commission, see Postal Guide.

  1. No Money Order may contain a fractional part of a penny.

  2. The remitter of a Money Order is the person who sends the money, and the payee is the person to whom it is sent.

  3. Application for a Money Order should be made on the printed form (Acct. No. 70). If, for any reason, the form is not, or cannot, be filled up by the applicant, the Postmaster must fill it up himself. He must carefully number every application form to correspond with the relative Money Order, and date-stamp it with the date of issue. Any manuscript application must be attached to the printed form (Acct. No. 70).

  4. All requisitions for Money Orders must be sorted in numerical order, carefully tied up in parcels monthly, and kept for a term of three years. (See Rule No. 194.)

(See exception, Rule No. 19.) The remitter’s address must also be furnished in order that it may be possible to communicate with him at any time respecting the Order.

  6. In the case of Orders intended for payment within New Zealand, where the remitter notifies that the Order is to be paid through a bank, it is left to his option to give or withhold the name of the payee. The Issuing Officer must, in such a case, cross the Order and Advice thus :—
