Starting July 15, Target will no longer accept personal checks as a payment method, citing extremely low volumes. This change aligns with a broader trend of declining check usage, with many consumers preferring credit/debit cards and digital payments.
Target emphasizes its commitment to a smooth checkout experience, offering various payment options including Target Circle Cards, cash, digital wallets, SNAP/EBT, and buy now, pay later services.
Despite this shift, customers can still use checks to pay their Target Circle Card credit balance by mail. This move follows similar policies by Aldi and Whole Foods, while stores like Best Buy and Cub Foods continue to accept checks.
