There are very few places that accept personal temporary checks (those checks given to an individual when opening a new checking account). Some places that will:
* Landlords
* Utility Companies
* Telephone Companies
* Municipalities/Local Government Agencies
Most retailers (e.g., grocery stores, restaurants, hardware stores, etc) will NOT take temporary checks. When opening your account, be sure to ask for a debit/ATM card that can be activated immediately. This way, you may use cash in your checking account at retail outlets.
Many places will accept checks. Check with the store. You will need to supply identification.
Personal checks can be found both many places online and by even calling your local bank. Websites have also become a good choice for many people all over the world.

Accepting checks is very important to some businesses and not important at all to others. Business to business, you must accept checks. Taking checks by mail, checks by phone, checks by fax or via online payment form or shopping cart is very valuable. Business to consumer, sometimes checks just are not needed. Consumers have a debit card or credit card and the money is almost always good when they pay by card - but at places like a grocery store, department store, or super-store will lose lots of customers by not accepting checks. A diner, corner shop, pizza delivery place or movie theater would have no need for taking checks. An auto parts dealer, insurance agency, or other billing oriented business like doctor's offices and dentists really do need to accept checks.
Banks can accept deposits in their registered branches, ATM Machines and coin deposit machines. Apart from this, they have check/cheque drop boxes in many places where customers can drop off checks/cheques in their name into their accounts
temporary settlements are where people move their settled places very temporarly
