I had a checking account in the past for my business. It is easier and safer to pay in check than cash though it could also be through a credit card.

The use of cheques is not as common as it was before because the advent of digital space has made people to shift from using that kind of medium to receive money.

I am receiving dividend cheques and drafts of very small amount because of high levels of cybercrime, banking fraud in the internet sector in the last decade.

Most companies cannot transact with others if they do not have bank checks. Using bank checks is ideal in situations like giving post-dated checks for the stagnant receiving of products.

When the amounts involved in the transactions are higher
When the seller insists on payment by cheque
When the evidence of cheque is required
I believe that everything depends on the business owner because some people actually allow the use of cheques for their business transaction while some people don't make use of it at all.

I don't accept a cheque as a means of payment for my business. I only accept cheque as a gift. It's either you pay cash or you make bank transfers. It is easier that way.

I do not think i am ready to take cheque at the moment, especially now that to access the bank in my country is something else. If the money is high you can make transfer in installments if possible. Maybe later in the future i would accept cheque though.

You are so right on this. It is better to have it on hand than money physically. In this manner, you can protect yourself. It is also good to cross-cheque so that no one can in-cash aside from a person named in it.

But I was a victim if a cross check, but my friend paid me the time we made a second appearance in the barangay hall. She felt ashamed.

I am sorry to hear this. It happens also when the check is a post-dated one. They might run away if deceiving people is their intention. We experienced this before.

Some landlords here require tenants to pay their rent by check as evidence of payment. Businesses also use check for payment if the amount that is involved in the transaction is huge.

I don't have any reason to demand for payments in cheques. It is outdated and stressful. I prefer you pay me my money through bank transfer. That's very easy and convenient.

My landlord will be the last human being on the planet earth that's going to agree to accept his rent with a cheque. It's only cash or bank transfer he accepts.

For very large transactions, a cheque is generally used so that they can be a paper trail that can be used as proof of payment in case of issues arising from the transactions.
