We knew that this would be popular but we had no idea just how much pent up demand there was for a quick, easy way to deal with checks
, says Laura Chambers, the Senior Director at Paypal.

The funds are directly deposited to their Paypal Accounts.
Although, Paypal was not the first company to introduce such a feature, still they have seen the a better success rate. It is only due to the huge popularity of Paypal and its platform. Paypal being a well known and widely accepted payment platform at most online transactions, people have found the check deposit feature to be more convenient with Paypal.
