Banks don't even issue chequebooks here (Norway).

We just transfer money directly to bank accounts, or pay by direct debit, or electronic invoice. For paying small amounts (up to about 500 USD) we have a Scandinavian mobile app called Vipps that lets private individuals pay other people just by knowing their mobile number.

All these things are free to use but using a cheque costs money.
