Do Americans still use cheques (checks)? I can’t think of the last time I wrote or received one. Probably a decade ago.

I remember having to write out a cheque for my plumber. Now when he’s done, I transfer the money using the banking app on my phone and then he checks his phone to confirm it’s received. No cheques, no cash.
