My landlord four years ago set things up so that the cheapest and lowest-latency way to pay rent was to walk to his bank and deposit a check into his account.

My landlord four years ago set things up so that the cheapest and lowest-latency way to pay rent was to walk to his bank and deposit a check into his account. Kind of weird. Sometimes I have weird professional things I pay for that need checks (tax attorney, and some real estate stuff). Fortunately, my credit union will print 3 checks if I walk by and ask nicely. And they have Saturday hours.
