Explanation:

When a check is mailed, it can be intercepted by thieves. Checks contain sensitive information like bank - account numbers and signatures. Interest is not paid on check amounts for regular bill - paying. Checks don't involve online data storage security risks as they are physical documents. While it may take time to reflect in the account, the risk of theft during mailing is a more immediate and significant disadvantage.
