They're not terribly common even within the US. I refinanced my house recently, and and I had to order a new checkbook from my bank to do it, because I couldn't find the one they gave me four years ago. Every time I do have to write a check, I always have to "figure it out" again, which isn't exactly rocket science, but is a testament to how little I write checks.
Like most of the world, I use credit cards or debit cards or a cash sending app.
- asdff 5y agoyet you can still cash a check and write a check even if its not popular.

E.g. if you get compensation from some company (due to overpaid bill, legal settlement etc), it'll usually come as a check by default - and sometimes that's the only available option. I've also dealt with landlords and home repair providers that would only accept checks.
