Do you still have checks?

Our cleaning service prefers checks so we write one check every other week. Other than that, I probably average one check a year.

I have them, but rarely use them as I use online bill pay for nearly everything.

As a result, when I have write out the check it looks like kitchen scratch because you rarely have to manually write out something these days.

You don’t want them getting your card info, but you’re okay with them getting your banking account info?? You realize that checks have your bank account number and routing number right on the front!

Yes. My cleaning lady prefers checks. There are a few vendors I use that charge extra to use credit (and debit) cards. I don't go through nearly as may as I did 20 years ago, but it is still a necessity for us.
