Summary

Check Cashing Act of 1933 - Sets forth licensing requirements for businesses that engage in issuing, redeeming, or cashing checks, travellers' checks, money orders, or similar instruments, or that transmit money. Confers licensing authority over such businesses upon the Federal Trade Commission (the Commission). Subjects violators of this Act to a civil penalty. Sets a maximum fee limitation which such businesses may charge for their services. Prohibits a depository institution from refusing to cash government checks where the presenter is the payee and provides sufficient identification. Mandates that checks drawn by Federal agencies be mailed only to specified addresses. Requires the Comptroller General to study and report to the Congress on the effects of requiring the use of a debit card system for making Federal benefit payments.
