Warning: I was mailing paper checks to pay bills until my bank charged me $34 in fees in one Texas month
I sat down last month and added up every stamp, every late fee, and every overdraft from checks clearing slow, and it came to $34 in one month for a grand total of five bills. Switched everything to autopay and scheduled transfers on the same day, and not one single fee since. Has anyone else run the math on what paper checks are actually costing them?
