MSCs that pay via check

Many years ago, when I first started mystery shopping, I would often receive my payments by check. Are there still companies that offer this option?

Thank you.

More About Payment

Yes, I just got a check from Market force. I think ACL also pays by check but haven't received my first payment from them yet.

You often have to wait longer for that option if it is offered. There are quite a few who will pay by electronic funds transfer as well (essentially an electronic check)

Started 3 months ago. MarketForce has been direct deposit. ACL's "FastPay" shop sent me money via PayPal. Another shop says "reimbursed 2/27" and according to their guidelines, I should get a check in the mail.
Intellishop claims PayPal - but I only recently did an Intellishop so I can't confirm

Market Force will give you the option of check or PayPal. ***haven't worked for them in a while... might be direct deposit not PayPal, but there is an option of 'old school or technology'****
ACL pays by check for assignments not advertised as 'fast pay'. (Which is most in my area)
ATH Power gave me the option to print my own check, have a check mailed or direct deposit
Secret Shopper sent me a check, I'm not sure if they offer other options or not
RQA sends checks

My pay for market force is EFT (direct deposit)

Sinclair Customer Metrics emails me checks. I print and sign them, and deposit by smartphone with a front and back picture. I prefer direct deposit first, and Paypal second. I avoid transaction fees like the plague.

Yes, ACL pays by check and the Chase Bank app sometimes does not like ACL's checks and won't let me deposit using the app. It's a pain having to go to the bank to deposit a check.

Merchantile Systems is check only. Just received one on time for January assignment.

I got a check from Market Viewpoint last week.

ACL
Mercantile
Secret Shoppers

All pay by check

Shoppers, Inc.

Qaci (which is based in the Northeast) exclusively pays by checks which are reliably sent out at the end of the month.

Mercantile has switched to electronic payments through bill.com.

They still pay by check.
