Paper checks feel safer to many clients. Remember that these same numbers are prominently displayed on every paper check you write and circulate to perfect strangers with your full name and address preprinted, and a perfect ink specimen of your signature. Nearly all checks are digitized and processed electronically these days. Consider whether electronic payment with trusted third parties provides a potential thief with less information than a paper check provides, most particularly an ink specimen of your signature.
