Kmart debuts new check-cashing program

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — Kmart has announced a new perk for its Shop Your Way program. Members can now cash payroll and government checks up to $2,000 and personal checks up to $500 for $1 or less per check.



The retailer recognized the need for customers who seek the convenience of check cashing where they shop or do not have access to a traditional bank account.



"At Kmart, we know that every dollar counts," said Jai Holtz, VP financial services, Sears Holdings. "We're giving our members more savings so they can keep more in their pockets. We know our members will love only having to pay $1 or less to cash their checks."



Shop Your Way is a free social shopping and rewards program. Members can shop, compare, purchase items and earn points on future purchases. Members also have the opportunity to take advantage of special pricing, as well as exclusive sales and events. The Shop Your Way app is available from iTunes and Google Play.
