    For me, I hand write checks weekly. That 3 percent credit card fee can add up quickly. Invoice me, and get the total payed at the end of the month. Also handy for person to person transactions, where cash is impractical.

      That’s why I pay my rent with check, hand delivered to their office. That 3% is a significant chunk of money.

          Landlords/management companies sometimes will try to make you go through a payment portal with a fee if you try to do direct debit.

            The fuck!!! In canada I debit rent to my landlords email thru my bank, 0 fees… outside of the banks normal monthly ones of course. And all the cash apps in the US are so bizarre… like you can’t do any of that through your banks? Why even deal with one then?
