why would you thinks checks would set off alarms and faster than electronic transfers?
And what alarm are you concerned with? not paying taxes or somthing?
EFT ACH is electronic, there is not a physical being looking at each and every one of them. A check on the other hand will be viewed by a physical being, if they see a 50,000 check coming from isle of man or some other small island/country every couple of weeks for instance its going to make them phsyically go hmmmmmm what does this person do. Sure the electronic transactions can trigger checks as well, but they are in my opinion anyway safer; maybe its just paranoia talking.
