Really? I’m approaching 10 years in Germany and I have never seen a cheque in Europe. SEPA transfers are the standard, and this is in the land of the faxes.

I can attest that France still uses checks a lot. Just over this summer I wrote something like 5 checks.

Mostly for work to be done on a house, and otherwise to get around the absurdly low limit on bank cards.
