Serious question, why do people still use checks for business payments?
I work at a small supply company in Austin and last week a vendor tried to pay us with a check for $2,400. It took 5 days to clear and almost bounced because they forgot to sign it. I know older folks are used to them, but with Zelle and ACH transfers being instant, why risk the delays and mistakes? Has anyone else dealt with this or found a way to push clients toward digital payments without offending them?

My dad runs a roofing company and half his clients still use checks because they don't trust online payments after getting scammed twice, so for him it's more about peace of mind than convenience.

How many of those checks actually bounce before the job's done?
