Do you write checks?

Yes, I still write a few. Mostly to church and to put in the mail with birthday cards.

Yes, to a few places. Church, school property taxes (sure not paying a fee on that amount!) are the ones I write most often. An organization DH belongs to can't seem to figure out online payments so I write one check a year to them.

ETA:  Merge - So you pay your property taxes online?  County allows you to do electronic check now for no fee, but SBISD still charges a credit card fee as well as an e-check fee.   The office is close to me and has a drive through window so every December I write a check and drive through. 

Yes. Our handyman only takes checks. And there are other one-of times like when we had some furniture delivered. I use Venmo more now for things I used to write checks.

Yes.

A few times a year for anything that requires a fee just to pay a bill. I don't play that game.

Yes, at least one a month to the HOA. They messed up our auto payments twice, so we no longer trust them. And then we write checks if we are charged a credit card fee like for property taxes and the DMV. I don’t carry a check book around with me though. It stays at home.

For our business I still do write some cheques every month. Most I pay online through my bank. I receive a few still also, most are direct deposit.

One company just has the amount typed in numbers. $638.47 in the written area and then $638.47 in the number area. Not six hundred thirty eight and they always go through.

It's been years since I wrote a personal cheque and those were once a year to the school. It's probably been 20 years since I've written cheques. I just use etransfer now.

We still have some things we pay with paper checks. For smaller businesses like ours, we try to pay with cash when we can. Now having said that, credit card fees for small businesses and organizations are INSANE and can add up to a huge expense annually. Last year we were informed that the processing fees DH was being charged would go up to 4% of every transaction. He is in a service business and people would routinely whip out a credit card to pay without even a second thought, I would say about 60-75% of his clients paid that way. When we added up the annual cost of the fees even before the fees were raised it was staggering. 😬

Yeah, NO. He immediately started telling people there would be a 4% convenience fee added if they wanted to pay by card (either credit or debit), or they could pay with a check or cash for no added cost, basically passing that expense on to only the clients who chose to go that route. Now most clients pay by check which costs us nothing extra to process and which saves us literally thousands of dollars a year. We deposit the checks electronically so we don’t even have to take them to the bank.

The reality is if most people chose to pay by card by default we would be forced to raise our rates across the board to offset that cost and then it affects EVERYONE regardless of how they pay vs. just the people who are consciously choosing to pay that way. We felt that giving people the option to choose a lower cost payment type that would also benefit them was the all around fairest way to go.

Very seldom. Probably because I refuse to deal with using Venmo. Usually once a year things, like medical bills or the guy who does the gutters.

Once in a while, mostly to my yard guy.

No. All our bills are paid online and I use a debit card for shopping. I haven't had a cheque book since the 90s.

This and bi-weekly to the housekeeper. 

Our property taxes are escrowed with our mortgage.

Just a few:
Lawn care man
