Target Will No Longer Accept Personal Checks as Payment

Target is making a major change to how customers pay for in-store purchases.

Starting this month, the Minnesota-based retailer said it will no longer accept personal checks as payment, a spokesperson confirmed to NBC Chicago.

The decision was made due to “extremely low volumes,” the spokesperson said, adding that the retailer had taken “several steps” to inform customers in advance.

The change will go into effect on July 15, a few days after Target’s popular Circle Week event.

According to the spokesperson, Target accepts multiple forms of payment, including Target Circle cards, cash, digital wallets, SNAP/EBT, credit and debit cards, and buy now, pay later services.

The move follows other recent changes made by Target, including adding limitations to the retailer’s self-checkout policy.
