Those options are often unrealistic or unacceptable. Even if the payee has a card reader, they may not accept credit cards. Most banks do not offer virtual cards. Those that do usually require banking apps, which many people do not want (or cannot use). Most people do not have PayPal accounts and do not want them.

I often pay tradesman with cheques. I send cheques at Christmas. I have been known to open savings accounts with cheques to avoid yet another password and yet more unmemorable names. Cheques are still useful.

A nice touch is the slip about two-thirds through the book advising a replacement can be obtained "by submitting the slip in your branch". Presumably written by someone who didn't get the memo about all the branch closures.

The printing of the books will never have been updated.

The date code on the slips suggests they were last revised in 2025.
