Community Financial Service Centers

Neighborhood Financial Services from Community Financial Service Centers

Community Financial Service Centers (CFSC) operates a network of locations across the United States dedicated to everyday financial services. Its focus is on handling tasks such as check cashing, sending money, or paying bills in a single visit, with in-person service and no appointment needed in most cases.

Check Cashing and Cash Alternatives

The company cashes payroll, government, insurance, and settlement checks, as well as business checks, so customers can get cash on the spot instead of waiting days for funds to clear. In addition to checks, it offers money orders as a secure alternative to sending cash and an electronic bill payment service for utilities, phone, or credit cards.

Currency Exchange, Lottery, and Coins

At select locations, you can buy foreign currency before you travel. The company also sells state lottery tickets, including scratch-off and numbers games, and offers coin counting services so you don't have to count or roll coins by hand. Availability of these services varies by location.

Cryptocurrency and Prepaid Cards

CFSC handles Bitcoin transactions at certain service points. It also offers prepaid debit cards, Visa and other merchant gift cards, and prepaid phones, designed for those seeking a way to pay or communicate without a contract or traditional bank account.

Transportation and Vehicle Services

In New York, the company makes it easy to buy or reload transit cards such as OMNY and MetroCards, as well as obtain E-ZPass devices. All CFSC locations in that state allow contactless payment via OMNY. In Illinois and Wisconsin, customers can handle vehicle registration tasks, including title transfers and license plate renewals, without an appointment and avoiding waits at public offices.

Geographic Presence and Location Network

The company has service points in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin. Cities where it operates include New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Milwaukee, Denver, Indianapolis, and other localities in those states. The company notes that services may vary from one location to another and recommends checking with the nearest center to confirm specific availability.

Employment and Corporate Activity

CFSC has open positions for customer service representatives in various areas. In the state of New York, the entity operates under license from the Superintendent of Financial Services pursuant to Article 9-A of the Banking Law.
