Money Minute: Stop writing checks
KSTP.com
“No more check writing. Checks are a huge source of fraud,” said Erin Procko, the president of Twin Cities Banking Bell Bank.
Procko makes no bones about it — checks are a bad choice nowadays because when you write one, “you are giving them all of your account information.”
A check has your name, address, bank name, personal checking account number and signature.
“Even though you are giving your check to someone you trust, it might be intercepted by a criminal,” Procko adds.
