Isn't it about time people just abandoned cheques? We haven't used them here in Norway for so long I can't remember how long ago I last used one, before the start of the century I think. Most shops and services haven't accepted cheques for years. Although they are still used for very large transactions they accounted for only 0.02% of transactions in 2015.
It'd be great, but it's not up to me. If I'm asked for a check, I've got to write it. Thankfully, we've been using ACH much more, but for transactions between two tiny parties, there aren't many better options yet. Perhaps Zelle will come into its own soon.
