Paper Checks Declining
David Twiddy from the Associated Press reports on the decline in usage of paper checks in the US.
Deluxe Corp., the nation's leading check printer, is closing a plant in Anniston, Ala. The company, based in Minneapolis, saw check sales drop 6.5 percent last year. It also has closed or is in the process of shuttering three other printing plants, in San Jose, Calif.; Pittsburgh; and Indianapolis. Business from those plants has been shuffled to other plants, including one in Kansas City.
