Roll on faster payments ! The irony is that to receive money by faster payments or BACS you have to give the sender of the money your bank account details. When the sender gives you a cheque you get their bank account details.

If there is mistrust between receiver and the sender or the receiver wishes to hide their details, what faster means of payment exist other than cheque or cash ?

This is misplaced mistrust - there is nothing you can reasonably do with a sort code, account number and name.

And cheque isn't flawless, either - just request a copy of your cheque back from your bank, and you have the payee's bank details fast enough.
