Cash & Transfer This Holiday Season by Cheque Express
The holiday season combines celebration, family gatherings, and moments of connection, but it also brings unexpected expenses, last-minute purchases, and financial obligations that can’t wait. For many people, December is a time when immediate access to money is essential, whether to support family, cover travel expenses, or send aid abroad.
Quick access to cash is crucial for many customers. A cashed check can be the difference between covering holiday expenses or falling behind.

With the holidays being one of the busiest times of year, Cheque Express is committed to providing customers a dependable financial partner when it comes to cashing checks, sending money and aiding family members quickly.
The Holiday Rush: Why Speed Matters More Than Ever
The financial challenges of the holidays are one of a kind. A lot of people are coping with last-minute shopping, unexpected travel expenses and seasonal household costs. Banks, meanwhile, usually keep hours and impose holds that seem like they were designed to make life harder.

And families overseas who rely on support could also experience delays, should transfers not be sent well in advance or processed routinely. This is how one can doubt when at a time we should be the most prepared.
Quick use of cash relieves some of these seasonal strains. Customers can avoid long bank holds and have access to their money instantly via check cashing services. For those making international money transfers, same-day processing can provide peace of mind so funds land where they are needed most and loved ones can enjoy everything that Christmas, New Year’s and other celebrations have to offer.
With these seasonal demands it is important to have a secure, efficient and timely service to better serve its customers.

Important Update: Starting January 1, 2026 – New Federal Cash-Transfer Tax of 1%
Starting January 1, 2026, there will be new rules for cash consideration on transfers. And Cheque Express tries to be as clear as possible for customers.
1. What the New Law Means
A federal 1% tax will be assessed only on international money transfers made when the sender pays in cash. This tax is automatically included in the transfer value at the time of transaction.
2. How the New Tax Works
And for customers paying with cash, the system determines an additional 1 percent on the amount they select to send.
This is a federal requirement that only applies to the sender. No fee is subtly activated for the recipient, and the amount received is as agreed minus regular transfer fees.
3. How to Defuse the New 1% Tax
Shoppers’ ability to escape the pending federal tax will come in the form of digital payments options such as:
- Debit card
- Apple Pay
- Other supported digital wallets
Making payments digitally keeps transfers affordable and prevents the extra fee kicking in from 2026.
