We have checks in France too, they're just not very popular.

Yeah, it depends, though.

A few months ago (in 2021!) I moved, so my old insurance had to reimburse some €40. While they never had any issue with getting paid directly from my bank account, for some reason they couldn't do the reverse and had to send a check.

Here in France, I find that they're still popular with the elderly customers ahead of me at the checkout.
