checkless

Lacking any verification

Checkless describes transactions or systems that don't involve paper checks: a checkless society, checkless banking.

The word reflects the shift toward electronic payments—direct deposit, debit cards, online transfers—that have made physical checks increasingly obsolete.

A checkless account may not even offer check-writing capability.
