Checkbook Reconciliation Evolution

Type: story
Participants: Randal Schwartz
Location: Portland

  • Checkbook Reconciliation Evolution

  • A nostalgic observation about the death of manual checkbook reconciliation in the era of smartphone banking.

  • The Demise of Reconciling Checkbooks

    • Upon receiving my monthly bank statement, I recalled the tedious routine from decades ago of manually "reconciling a checkbook" to match outstanding checks with the bank's records.
    • I realized that I haven't needed to perform this chore for at least a decade or two.
    • With modern smartphone apps and web portals, I can see the precise, real-time status of my finances instantly.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
