There are a handful of things I pay by check - and it is NOT my preferred method of payment. I do that only if there is no ability to pay online. Online is so much faster and just as secure and it is posted to my account immediately. I wish we could do away with checks altogether.

I stopped doing this a long time ago. Paying bills by checks is a thing of the past. Now I pay my bills online; about 80% of the time.

No, I Dont. I don't even remember when exactly I stopped, lol. It's great because I don't buy checks and needless to say gone are the days of endless check writing. Saving on postage stamps, as well.

I think I pay only two of my bills now by check, most of them are online or direct withdrawl.  Not to shabby!

I couldn't imagine paying by check. For all the risks on the Internet, I think the risk (and costs!) of writing out a check, mailing it, and hoping it gets the the destination in a timely fashion is so much worse!

I do online banking for everything and electronic money transfer processes whenever possible. It makes life so much easier!

Yes, We still write checks to pay some of our bills.

Only thing I pay with check is for my home owners association fees. They do have online bill pay but it's $5 extra.

I very rarely write checks for bills, If the internet crashes I'd be in serious trouble. :-)

I still write out checks for some of my doctor bills, but all my other bills are paid online. It took me a long time to start paying bills online.
it's rare but sometimes a check is necessary :)
