New Zealand also recently got ATMs which can process checks. I can assure you that checks are basically dead in New Zealand. I'm 30 and I've never owned a checkbook. The only checks I ever see are birthday money from my grandparents. Most shops haven't accepted checks for years. Almost everything these days is done with direct bank transfers.
