Target to Cease Accepting Personal Checks Starting July 15

Retail giant cites declining use and fraud concerns as reasons for the policy change

Personal checks accounted for only 3% of purchases in 2023, down from 7% in 2020.
Target will continue to accept cash, credit/debit cards, digital wallets, SNAP/EBT, and buy now, pay later services.
The company has notified customers in advance to ensure a smooth transition.
Checks will still be accepted for paying off Target Circle Card balances by mail.
Other major retailers like Aldi and Whole Foods have already stopped accepting personal checks.
