Human: With electronic payments being so convenient and easy to use, do regular paper checks still have a place in personal finance?

Assistant: Hmm this is a very interesting question.  The answer is definitely yes, there is still a place for paper checks in personal finance.  Checks are a very convenient form of payment, but they are very vulnerable to fraud and theft, since they are easily copied or forged.  Also, checks have very high fees and processing costs compared to cards and electronic forms of payment.  So in general I would say that checks are best reserved for large, secure transactions like rent payments, utility bills, and mortgage payments.  For most personal expenses, electronic payments are generally a much better choice due to their lower cost and greater security.

Assistant: Yes definitely, paper checks still have a large and important role in personal finance.  Currently, around 20% of all consumer payments are still made by check.  Checks serve a number of important functions, primarily as a safe and secure financial instrument for personal and business transactions.  Checks also help to provide consumers with a high level of financial privacy and autonomy.  In the near future, checks are expected to remain an important component of personal finance due to the enduring benefits that they provide.
