This AMSCOT is one of 175 locations throughout central Florida. It calls itself "the money superstore" because it strives to provide every financial service a customer might need. AMSCOT cashes checks, offers loans, sells money orders, takes utility payments, opens credit card accounts, sends wire transfers and more. The first store in this chain opened in 1989 in Tampa. AMSCOT also offers a tax preparation service from January 1 - April 15 each year.
