As the Personal Check Disappears, What Comes Next? The check. A thousand years later, this form of payment is finally disappearing.

The newest type of payment –the first to be introduced in the U.S. since the 1970s– is called instant payments, in which money moves from your account to another immediately.

When future historians seek to understand their past, it is the Musks and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world who will set the terms.
