In today’s world of debit cards and ATM’s there are still several advantages to using an actual checking account.
Benefits of checking accounts
- Proof of payment – Checks provide a paper trail or written proof that you paid someone. Each time you write a check that ultimately clears your account, there will be several records of it. Having this proof is important for tax purposes (when you make tax deductible charitable donations) and whenever you are paying a person or company by mail.
- on your credit union statement,
- in your check register (checkbook),
- a Carbon Copy if you are using duplicate checks,
- a printable front and back image of your cleared check online through PC Branch (available for at least twelve months), and an image of your check electronically stored in our files indefinitely.
- Safer than cash – If you shop by mail, paying by check is safer than cash. Cash can be taken and spent by anyone without a trace. The paper trail a check leaves discourages theft.
- Cheaper than money orders – Personal checks are cheaper than buying money orders or cashier's checks – even on checking accounts with fees.
- No transaction limits – Checking accounts have no Federal limits on the number of electronic transfers you can make each month
