It's a symptom of other dysfunction alright, but mail did and does work, so the superficial answer is: same as it always did?
When I read about banking in the US involving checks and bills, I don't say "the system is collapsing", it's just... an aspect that sucks.

Better to have the choice of course but if it would be only one then the former might be an inconvenience but the latter can turn into a real nightmare.
