TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Florida's Office of Financial Regulation is trying to make it harder for people to commit fraud, through a new check cashing database.
Each time someone cashes a check or checks totaling more than $1,000, check cashers will have to enter the data into a database.
That data will be accessible by the Office of Financial Regulation's state and federal partners and will help them identify if someone is committing fraud.
All licensed check cashers are required to use the check cashing database no later than October 1 of this year.
