Consumers love to whinge about how transfers take/took three days to move, and yet bitterly cling to cheques and whine about their decline and intended removal...
I think cheques will always have a place for paying club subscriptions and tradesmen - both situations when I doubt anyone has needed to show a guarantee card anyway!

"Always have a place" until the Payments Council decides they're done, in a couple more years.
The main reason that cheques have been useful for me is for sending money for school trips etc. My kids are old enough to be trusted with money now. But not when they were younger.

This, however, is about the end of cheque guarantee - a scheme which only goes up to £250, which is hardly a large amount of cash.

Does Barclays provide a non cash payment system appropriate for small clubs or small tradesman?
