Paper checks are slow, inefficient and plagued by fraud. Yet, many U.S. business can’t seem to move away from checks, even as other nations leave them in the dustbin of history. In this special member meeting, we’ll explore the ways in which checks are a burden for organizations, reflecting on data from the 2025 AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey and other top sources. We’ll also hear from experts on when reliance on checks in the U.S. might finally come to an end—and what treasury and finance professionals can do to help move the needle.
