Cheque and check mean the same thing: the paper-based transactional item banks issues to enable making payments from a checking account. Check is more widely used in the United States, while Cheque is used in the U.K. English.

A check has your bank account number and routing number pre-printed and is used to pull funds from your checking account. You make a check payment by providing the payee's name and amount on the check. However, checks can bounce due to insufficient balance. A money order, however, is guaranteed by a third party like a bank or post office, where you exchange cash for a piece of paper in advance, unlike checks. Money orders are comparatively more secure as funds are guaranteed by a third party and less likely to bounce.
