My wife receives cheques from members of her U3A group, all of whom are elderley, many in their '80s. The U3A would prefer they pay by direct transfer and some are happy to do that. There are some very clued-up octagenarians with iPhones! But it's more hassle for her - what with reconciling names, people using the wrong account, or saying they've paid when they haven't - that she prefers cheques. She puts a pile of them and a pay-in slip in the bank's machine (we still have banks here) and it produces a receipt and a photo of each cheque. I understand RFID-shielding wallets, BTW, but not an RFID blocking card. A decoy?
