Re: Cheques to disappear in 2018

A cheaper alternative? Well then I reckon cheques are safe for a lot longer because I cannot see what could be a cheaper system.There surely has to be some central system set up to facilitate any paper /card transaction and this will still 'cost' to run.

I know Postal Orders..where the user has to pay a certain percentage extra to pay for the service..pity the Post Office is being sold.

My 96 year old M-in-law won't be interested in that...
