Work From Home Companies That Still Pay By Check

I personally love getting paid with Paypal because I don't like waiting for checks to arrive, but I know that there are many of you who would prefer not to receive your money electronically and would just like to get a paper check mailed to you.

It does seem that the number of work from home companies that still pay by check is starting to dwindle, but there are a handful that still pay that way or at the very least have it as an option.

I've had several readers over the last couple of years ask me on occasion what companies will pay them with a check. So here is a list of the ones I know about across a number of different categories.

If I come across any others, I will try to add them later on. Please let me know if you know of any I could add as well, or if you know for a fact any of these companies no longer pay by check:

I want my info to be as accurate as possible, so please let me know if you know of any others, or if any of the companies above are actually no longer paying via check.

I also want to mention that if you are hesitant to sign up for Paypal, you are really missing out on jobs from many good work from home companies.

Signing up is easy, free, and there are all kinds of options available for you to get the money in your hands once it goes there, including mailed check or bank transfer. I've been using Paypal literally for years and love it!
