People still have checking accounts? In 2018? And that’s a completely serious question.
I literally haven’t seen a check used anywhere the last 25 years. I doubt any place I frequent would accept one.
In fact I don’t know a single bank which issues checks...
I assume most university students these days wouldn’t even know what a check was, if given one.
So where is the market? The past? I mean... you’d need a time machine to use these, right?
- itsnickk 8y agoMine is essentially my main account I use for anything money-related. It doesn't mean I use checks.
- whalesalad 8y agoWhat country do you live in? In America, the barebones basic place to keep your money is referred to as a 'checking account'.
- josteink 8y agoNorway. We just call a generic bank account a bank account. Why bring in the term “checking” if it’s not related to checks? I’d call that being intentionally confusing.
- bytematic 8y agoUni student here. Most people put money in a checking account to use to pay bills/food/etc. You shouldn't be using your savings account money for this.
