Well, it's not really done, is it? She has to go to the bank and cash the check, right? It's not the end of the world, sure, but it's an extra trip compared with a bank transfer -- with a bank transfer she has the money ready to be used immediately.
- rwmj 3y agoI believe (even in the US!) you can pay in a check by taking a photo in your bank app.
- dazc 3y agoThe money isn't instant though. People paying for such services with a cheque would do well living a few weeks in someone else's shoes.
- ghaff 3y ago90% of the people I'm paying are businesses. If an individual wants cash they can ask and I'll pay cash. I wouldn't just assume someone prefers everyone to be paying them in cash or screwing around with various electronic payment options that aren't super-common where I live.

- ghaff 3y ago>She has to go to the bank and cash the check, right? I'm guessing she has a banking app like I do that lets her deposit the check in about a minute? Between the bank writing/mailing checks for you to pay bills and an app you can use to deposit checks, checks just aren't the friction that they used to be. That's probably a big reason why there just isn't a big outcry in the US to get away from checks. For most of us, it's just way, way down the list of day to day pain points.
- EasyMark 3y agopiling up 20 checks for the week and going to the bank for 10 minutes isn't a big deal to most people.
