I still use cheques. I am definitely not a boomer. I also like paper statements, use cash and sometimes do paperwork on slices of dead trees.

I work in technology enough to distrust it greatly. I had a multi-week saga one time because I used an electronic pdf signature instead of printing it out. I still get people freaked out when my resume is digitally signed in acrobat.

I will stick to my dead tree banking.

Cheques were de facto abolished here so long ago that I can't remember the year I last used one, must be at least twenty years ago. The bank I have been using for more than the last ten years has never issued cheques.

Yeah, I think for anyone under the age of 35 in my country, cheques only exist in the giant novelty kind given away in lotteries or politicans at PR events. Current teenagers wouldn't even remember their parents using them.
