    Hey; what's generally faster? Direct Deposit or receiving a check?

    Like its instant. Check takes the time to get to your house and then you need to cash it ;)

    Of course the electronic payment is faster.

    And you don't get to spend another month for the bank to approve the check. And that's AFTER you wait 4-5 days (DHL + 25 USD) or 2 weeks for normal postal service.

    Direct Deposit is faster. However, you can use the check to promote your site :)

    its obvious that Deposits are faster. 2-4 days. Check takes near 4 days by the time you receive and then you have a clearing time of 2-3 days.

    @JC007
    Something wrong with that word? Basically I wanted to say that I think my bank send the check again to Ireland and ask wheter the check is valid or not
    Well pardon me, since English is not my primary language,:D

    A few months ago, it took almost two weeks to get my check. I switched to direct deposit and now get it on time every month and don't have to worry about my checks getting lost in the mail.
