There was a time when checks were used by almost all businesses in the world and it was a really common way of paying people. However, by the passage of time, new payment methods emerged. In the current era, many people use payment processors. So, do you think that businesses still use checks to make and receive payments?

I don't know if any other businesses out there are still making use of cheques as a means of payment but there is a possibility that some companies still accept cheques for payment. But in my own personal business, there is nothing like accepting cheques as a means of payment. I only accept cash, bank transfer or card payment.

I think that majority of the businesses are still using cheques. This is because many businesses still believe that this is the traditional method of making payments and receiving money. Very few people are using electronic payment systems as cheques are still much popular.

The reason why most businesses in my country are no longer accepting the use of cheque as a means of payment is that most people who offer it are usually not honest with them. This is because whenever you go to bank to cash in the cheque, they will always tell you that there is no money in the account for them to use to process the payment.

I think that you are talking about cheques getting dishonoured and there is a law for that. In case if the other party offers you a cheque and in case if it gets dishonored, then you may be able to take legal action against the party who offered you the cheque.
 
Cheque payments are still common in my place, but there is a strict law regarding check bounce. You can go to jail if your cheque gets bounced.

This is a quite common problem. The cheque may get dishonoured and when such kind of things occur, the party that issued the cheque may also face legal problems as well. This is something that many entrepreneurs know and this is why they may never misuse cheques. Doesn't this kind of law exist in your country as well?

Personally, I see this kind of a thing as something that is very stressful for me to go through when it comes to running my business operation and it is the main reason why I had to totally eliminate the payment option of making use of bank cheques for any reason whatsoever.

Nowadays many people use electronic payment applications in order to make payments. This is why usage of cheques may have had declined a bit. The main issue here is the fact that cheques are still considered traditional payment methods. This is why they are still used and this is one of the most common reasons why people use cheques.

Businesses persons that are doing lots of documentation will likely make use of cheques because they want to have it recorded that they issued or received a cheque. No matter how things develop, the use of cheque is going to be steady with most businesses here as far as I am concerned.

I think that this is a big reason for why many businesses use cheques. However, I think that when it comes to using other forms of payment methods, you can still keep a record as well. For example, now many payment processors allow you to keep a record of your transactions in the transaction history.
 
When it comes to my country I will admit that I don't find as many businesses or even people such as friends and family use cheques like they used to. Whilst some businesses do still use cheques it's once in a blue moon I will receive one to cash for money owed to me.

Countries that are adopting full cashless policies will have measures that will discourage people and businesses from making use of cheques. There are also others that are not using cheques because there are cashbacks that follows paying online instead of issuing cheques too.

Well, the main problem is the fact that there are many people who are not using electronic payment systems and this is why they have been using cheques in order to make payments. In fact, cheques are still used at an international level as well. You may need to have a foreign currency account for that, though.

There is a reason why there is an online record of whatever you are doing in your business and even if you receive any payment through online process, there is always a receipt that is printed online. This can actually all be documented. What happens in a situation whereby you are receiving cheques for your payment, what about a scenario where you went to cash the cheque in the bank and you couldn't because of a reason from the person's bank. It's why I don't accept it for any reason whatsoever.

I think that when you make payments through cheques, the bank does record in their journals. In the past, they may not have had an electronic record of cheque payments. However, now things are very different. The same goes for other payment options as well.
