9 Reasons Paper Checks are Lame


  1. snailmail1Mail is slow … That is why it is called “Snail Mail”. Duh. You could be having a really fun weekend, but you wanted your paycheck mailed and didn’t arrive until after 5 p.m. on Friday so you can’t cash it until Monday. I guess you could clean your garage.
  2. Waste of Time — & Gas – Driving to the bank to wait in line to cash your check. Huge waste of time! You waste that quality nap time every payday!
  3. Unless you have a crush on your mail carrier.…why are you waiting around for him/her?
  4. Lost your check? Dog ate it? No whining! You could have had it deposited electronically. It’s safer- Direct deposits cannot blow out your car window on the way to the bank, be stolen or lost.
  5. Paper checks are now considered dangerous — Paper cuts are common and can result in serious infections!
  6. Being “GREEN” is cool. Paper checks are totally uncool. Your peers may begin to avoid you if they find out how “uncool” you are.
  7. Vacations! – You still have access to your money on payday even if you are sipping fruity drinks with umbrellas at the beach.
  8. Your bank may love you — Some banking fees can be avoided by using DIRECT DEPOSIT. Check with your financial institution to see if you can save money by using direct deposit.
  9. It’s free- Everybody loves free!
