Checks have become so marginal that the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Payment Choice relegates them to a category of "other," which, along with prepaid cards and money orders accounted for less than 9 percent of all payments in 2022. But checks aren't entirely dead, with 11.2 billion still written in the U.S. in 2021. Meanwhile, their use by criminals as a vector of fraud has shot up. Which raises the question: The paper check won't die. Is it time to kill it? This episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — sponsored by Biz2X — sets out to answer that question, with the help of top bankers and experts in the payment space.
