Cheques are still one of the most trustworthy and secure methods of receiving earnings through the internet. This is specifically true for those concerned individuals, who are looking for transparency, oversight, and less reliance on the quick-changing digital platforms. Unlike a considerable number of online payment systems, which are not only capable of and open to the imposition of concealed and/or extra charges but can also freeze one’s account without even giving any notice and frequently require a lot of personal verification to restore it, cheques guarantee a direct and physical mode of payment that can be banked or cashed at the receiver's discretion. There is no fear of illegal access by hackers as it often happens with online wallets and payment gateways. Moreover, cheques provide a clear paper trail that is indispensable for the self-employed, small business owners, and remote workers who sometimes need evidence for tax or legal matters. For people who live in places where there is limited internet security or infrastructure of digital banking, cheques are the most suitable way as they are independent of mobile apps and always online connectivity. Also, they help to establish a degree of trust between actor and recipient as the former party must perform a real, determined physical action to transfer funds and this is often the cause of fewer disputes or errors in the transaction. In cases where digital censorship or financial restrictions may be practiced, receiving funds in the form of a cheque is a way to avoid the systems that are packed with surveillance or that may be affected by propaganda. With the way the digital world is going, it is increasingly hard to be financially independent. The traditional methods like cheques are the true saviors since they are not only a source of a digital income but also are an indirect way to bring about a change as they will help to centralize the income in the hands of the owner.
