I’m glad it works for you, but it seems not very handy of you have to carry them to use them and from memory, they expire. So I’d imagine if you don’t use often, when you go to use them, you’d need to reorder a new check book.

Generally here, it’s no cost to pay by bpay, a bank transfer system. And for paying people, transfer between digital accounts is instant.

Of someone wanted to pay for a car/scooter by check, they’re not getting the car from me until the money has clear which would be days later.

I suppose it’s handier than carrying large amounts of cash but there are much more convenient methods nowadays.
