Money market checks

Check writing is a convenient way to access your money, and checks can be used for various purchases.

Things to consider:

• Checks can be ordered only for your American Funds® U.S. Government Money Market Fund Class A or Class F-2 shares and are not available for other funds or share classes
• The minimum amount a check can be written for is $250
• There is no maximum amount that a check can be written for, as long as sufficient funds are available to cover it
• There is no limit on the number of checks that can be written over a time frame
