Well, that’s certainly not safe for work
I’m not sure that checks rate any better in security here, or in reliability. The check doesn’t have any mechanism within it to verify that there’s actually money to be moved, and doesn’t guarantee that the payment is yours irrevocably. It also doesn’t verify the actual intent to move money, or that the writer of the check is authorized to do so. I get that digital systems have vulnerabilities but let’s not pretend that this paper system doesn’t.
Seriously - it’s 2023, why are we still moving money around with paper IOUs
Gotcha that makes sense - hadn’t thought about the two accounts approach, that might be better for going forward. Thanks!
