I would say approximately quarterly for me, maybe yearly. Some people only want a check, and also checks Just Work in a way that digital payments don't. Like, I can't use Venmo because they absolutely refuse to verify my bank account, so for anyone who takes Venmo or a check it means I need to pay them by check. It's uncommon, but common enough that it's still a basic part of being a functional adult.

Also, the apps have limits. There have been times where someone was giving me a value larger than the apps would allow due to daily limits, and was going to force multiple transactions at the max amount. Or, they could write a check, and the full deposit could be made.

At the end of the day, if someone is trying to give you money using a valid form of payment, why would you not accept it. Driving to the bank to make a deposit (again, value too high for app check deposit) is a minor deviation to my day, but am I going to say no because of that. Some people are just weird with their protests to checks.
