Checks still in use in Canada as well. I had a person today tell me they had 3 checks stolen and cashed and my response was “people still use checks?”.

- ghostpepper 6y agoIn Canada it's spelled cheque, I have no idea why. </pedantry>
- ryandrake 6y agoThe demise of checks is greatly exaggerated. I've written about 70 or so checks in the last 5 years. Mostly: Property taxes, home improvement contractors, dues for various clubs and social groups, kids activities, and some mail-in retailers who simply don't take credit card. That's leaving out the "automatic bill pay" function of my bank's web site, which, for most payees, at the end of the day results in physical paper checks being printed and sent in envelopes.
- wastholm 6y ago> The demise of checks is greatly exaggerated. That varies a lot by jurisdiction. I'm 50 and I haven't written a single check in my entire life. (Sweden.)
- wdb 6y agoYeah, only cashed in checks from US and U.K. Each time I need to find out how to do it! Think three checks in 40years ain’t bad
- tomjen3 6y agoI have only ever paid once with a check here in Denmark. I won't ever do it again, because no bank that I know of will issue a paper check.
- jeromegv 6y agoStill in us but much less than the US. Interac bank transfer has cut on a lot of that usage.
