Can I pay a bank loan using a personal check?

bank loan
LG asked:


Blame it on ignorance…

Because my credit union lost all my direct deposit account info when I initially set up an auto loan, I physically make my payments there each month. I always pay cash.

But can I simply write a check for the amount due and hand it to the teller? Is that acceptable? It would save me a trip to my other bank each month.

Thanks.

    I don’t think a bank cares what medium is used as long as they get their money.

    Yes you can, and it may even be better if you have to provide proof of payment because you can get a copy of the check you used for payment.

    Yes, as long as it doesn’t bounce, they won’t care.

    Yes, you can give a check. That’s how most people pay their loans.

    You can also set up your direct deposit info again. All the info they need is on the bottom of your checks.
