They do. I bought a house with a cheque. It was the only cheque I’d ever written and it bounced. The bank had closed the account without telling me.

Fun times.

So did the bank close an account with a lot of money in it, or did you write a cheque for an empty account?

Ive slightly misstated it - they closed the cheque function on the account (although the account is still called a ‘cheque account’ now, 10+ years later). The account was active but no longer had a cheque book associated with it. However I had a physical cheque book.

Cheques basically don’t exist here in NZ now.
