For some bills like rent for a landlord or utility bill, a check is the only way to make a payment. They just don't have the volume to justify payment processing costs. This is particular relevant to ""micro-merchants"" and freelancers like landscapers, pool cleaners, or perhaps a housekeeper. Of the 27 million small businesses in the U.S., Forbes reports that 55% of them do not accept credit cards. You may only pay $5 or less but the fee for using a card could be $2 or more it's not a feasible profit margin. An example would be buying chips or a few snacks at the dollar store. This processing fee can be expensive, sometimes more than the amount of the transaction itself, and not every business can afford this cost. To process a credit card, the major card companies will charge a fee on top of the actual transaction. Many small businesses won't accept cards. Reason #1: Credit and debit cards comes with hidden costs. Mostly importantly, for large monetary transactions like your rent or payment for the household services rendered, you are going to want to sign a check. While it can seem that checks are going the way of fax machines and 8-tracks, checkbooks and their checkbook holders do have their benefits and are still around like vinyl record players and 90's fashion. For example, even your convenient debit and credit cards which dominate in the US and the online marketplace, come with a higher risk of identity theft and higher costs for merchants through processing fees. No matter what, every payment solution has its pros and cons. Add a bit of swanky style and sign your check with panache from a monogrammed checkbook cover.
