[Electronics-Talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: Writing checks fromthecomputer

Wed Feb 3 16:33:35 UTC 2016

The two companies you mentioned are surprising.  Just like my life insurance 
company doesn't accept payments electronically.  Although I submit the 
payment via Bill Pay, a paper check is sent to them.  And this has been the 
case ever-since electronic bill paying has been in existence.
