There are somethings it's easier for my business to just go with paper payments but the rest I do online. And all my clients pay me with a check.

when I took Power of Attorney over her affairs. After she died, I paid off all her bills and several months later closed the account for good. I really didn't care for online banking. And guess what? My computer guy tells me I am smart not to do it! He's hardly an old geezer like me. He must know something...
