No more personal checks at Target

Don't bother bringing your checkbook to Target. Very soon, the retailer won't be accepting personal checks.

Target will no longer take personal checks for customer purchases starting July 15, Mike Snider reports.

The use of personal checks has dipped in recent years. Consumer use of personal checks declined to just 3% of payments made in 2023, down from 4% in 2021 and 2022, and 7% in 2020, according to Federal Reserve Financial Services. Some other major retailers not accepting personal checks: Aldi and Whole Foods Markets.

Here's why Target is joining the list.
