back in the 60s and 70s here in the states banks started getting automatic check processing equipment and people liked having a definite hard copy of transactions.
in europe checks were pretty much fazed out along time ago. many here dont use checks either, like me. others like my mother dont use cards at all.
if your card is stolen call the bank and they will freeze it and you wont be responsible for charges made to it.
@jeff if your bank accounts are linked the bank will take all the money from your second acount so that you dont overdraw the account. usually you have to sign up for linked accounts. is that what happend?
i like cash
