Pros & Cons of Using Personal Checks

Some years ago, a personal check was the only alternative to cash. Nowadays, there are many different possibilities when it comes to payment methods (credit card, debit card, electronic money, etc.). However, some people still use personal checks. Others insist that they are a thing of the past. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of paying with a personal check?

 

Pros

 

A checking account is, for many people, the easiest way to buy stuff without carrying around huge amounts of cash. Here are some of the advantages mentioned by users of personal checks:

-          Keep track of your finances: A personal check is the best way to maintain control of your expenses. Because of credit and debit cards, many people end up with huge debts, only because they didn’t know when to stop. The mere act of writing a personal check allows you to visualize the number you are writing and giving you some time for a second thought.

-          A check allows you to pay real people: Whether you want to give some money to your nephew’s birthday; pay the landlady, who is knocking at your door; or paying the gardener for planting the rosebushes, a personal check is the best way to go in all those situations in which a credit card won’t do it.

-          A check provides proof of payment: This way, it is safer than cash. Use it, for example, if you want to pay in advance for a used car you are buying directly from the previous owner. Besides, since most banks are willing to stop the payment in case problems arise, you can get your money back should you discover you made a huge mistake.

 

Cons

 

Some people refuse to keep using personal checks, and have replaced this method by some other, such as credit cards. According to them, these are the main disadvantages of checks:

-          Are they actually safe? Those who refuse to use personal checks, claim that because you provide too many information in them (full name and address, signature, not to mention bank account number), it is very easy to steal your identity. For this reason, you’d probably think it twice before accepting a personal check from someone you don’t know.

-          Delays: There’s always the matter of waiting for funds to clear, or the risk of the check getting lost in the mail, which makes some people unwilling to use or accept personal checks.

 

Despite its possible cons, with billions of personal checks written every year, this method looks far from disappearing!
