Posted on 29 Aug 2018

Paper checks aren’t popular as they once were, but they haven’t disappeared just yet.

Consumers have been quick to adopt digital payment methods, but many businesses still cut checks every month for all kinds of payments.

Check out the podcast below to hear what Stuart has to say about why the business world has been slow to adopt digital payments, and how that’s quickly changing.
