I know this debate is about the US banking system, but I feel the need to point out that in most of the EU, cheques basically aren't used, and business purchases are generally made by wire transfers.
Without a chequebook or credit card, you could offer a bank account without any risk that the bank would ever have to pay out more than its nominal balance. Bank runs could still be a problem, but I feel an appropriate pricing structure could solve that.
