Common practice here.

I refuse to use auto pay or direct account access for any billing.

I have had my credit card account high jacked four times within 24-48 hours of paying a doctor or hospital bill. Never again. Send me an itemized bill - I’ll mail a check.

Checks, cash or discrete use of credit cards. Or I take my business elsewhere.

Debit cards, online payments, Venmo, PayPal, Applepay, automatic account transfers… not happening here.

I’m with you. I pay all utility bills with paper checks and pay bills from my one credit card with paper checks. I certainly don’t use a cell phone to pay for groceries or anything else. I use paper money and coins for groceries. It’s maddening to wait in line in a grocery store behind someone fumbling with a debit or credit card that isn’t being accepted or they can’t remember a pin number or some other foolishness.

I have good handwriting that I learned in elementary school where they taught cursive writing. I like to use it.
