<p>My D has had a checking account since age 14 and I never had checks printed for her - and she hasn’t done so since it was opened either. The three counter checks that came when we opened the account were useful only to give voided checks to employers for direct deposit!</p>
<p>The debit card has been all she has needed - heck the only time I have to break out a check is for my MUD b/c they haven’t ponied up for a pay online website.</p>
