Checks are screened against negative databases before you hand over goods.
Checks haven't gone away. The risk of taking them can.
In B2B, trades and higher-ticket retail, checks are still a meaningful share of revenue. The problem was never the check — it was the one that comes back.
Run the check through a reader and it converts to an electronic debit on the spot. Funds settle like a card transaction, the paper goes back to the customer, and nobody makes a trip to the bank.
With guarantee in place, an approved check that comes back is reimbursed. The collection effort stops being your staff's problem and becomes the guarantee provider's.
