I still have to have a checkbook because my dog groomer and my tree trimmer/gutter cleaner companies both refuse to accept cards. They are small businesses and don’t want to deal with the fees. My options are go get cash every time, or keep a checkbook on hand to write checks. While I understand their reasoning, it’s infuriating that checks even still exist.
Why would you use a functional system for the past fifty years that works? Instead of using a third party data harvesting middleman like Venmo/Cash app/Paypal who can reject your purchase because fuck you?
I have received a check for some equity with a previous employer. There is barely any bank on the continent that can do anything with it, so I’ll wait for my next overseas trip to cash it.
Why are Americans still dealing with checks in the age of digital banking?

I pay in checks for large bills. I fail to see a problem

Wait, you guys don’t have bank transfers in the USA? I can send money from my own bank account with no fees to every other bank in my country

What are you talking about pretty much any bank can cash a check…?
