Do you still write checks? If you do, you’d better get rid of the habit because last November the Aruba Banker Association announced it will be discontinuing the use of checks which are inefficient to process, expensive and insecure.
As of May 1st, this year, private clients will no longer be able to use checks, and on November 1st, 2018, corporate clients will be joining the checkless crowd.
ABA made a recent presentation at the Aruba Hotel & Tourism Association meeting, stating its case, and reporting that the use of checks on the island has declined to the point of making them obsolete.
I haven’t written a check for years, but I can see the little people affected, day workers and temporary employees. They will have to open bank accounts and get ATM cards between now and May 1. Easier said than done.
