Phyllis Meyerson’s Lasting Legacy: The Blockbuster Story Behind Check 21
On October 15, 2025, the payments industry lost one of its icons.
Phyllis Meyerson was a 50-year payments and check-processing veteran, accumulating numerous professional certifications and making a lasting impact on the payments industry through her leadership and service.
Phyllis was more than her professional achievements. She was known for her intelligence, her spirited nature, and her generosity. She inspired those around her, remained true to herself, and made a lasting impact on everyone she met.
A Shared Project: From eBook to Multimedia Story
Before her passing, OrboGraph had the great honor of collaborating with Phyllis and co-author David Walker on their eBook, “Check 21 – A Blockbuster Story.” This eBook isn’t just a technical or historical recount: it's a deeply personal narrative about the remarkable transformation of payments in the United States — told with humor, humility, and insight.
We are thrilled to announce that the audio and video versions of eBook are now available on the Tiller Endeavor website.

This milestone is especially meaningful as it extends Phyllis’s legacy and makes her story available to a broader audience -- preserving an important piece of payments history via engaging multimedia.
This project was a labor of love, and we are honored to have played a part in preserving her work in a form that can continue to educate, motivate, and resonate.
Thank you, Phyllis — for your brilliance, your heart, and your lasting imprint on our industry.
