Oldschool Cool: Checks through the Years

Checks are oldschool cool. While many of us now have debit and credit cards to assist us in purchasing items, checks are still important for paying family members, gifting cash and a whole slew of other things. At Current, we have cute and beautiful check designs, but these weren’t always available. In the earlier days of checks, they were basically glorified pieces of paper- no real security or personalization.

So we’re taking it back. Way back to show you check designs through the years:

Modern Checks

Aren’t you glad we aren’t stuck in the 1800s still? Not that checks would be our largest problem! It’s still nice to have secure checks that come in a wide variety of designs. Shop now.
