Remembering back ~20 years when we were running a small online business. (very low value stuff, like 99p each.) Used to accept cheques, and postal orders, which were annoying but necessary at the time. Even cash. (Still have 40 USD notes in a drawer from that period.)
Wouldn't even consider it nowadays, although the last time we had to deal with a cheque (few years ago, refund from Motability) I discovered our banks App allowed me to pay it in just by photographing it! That was handy.

@robert@irrelevant.me.uk @aaisp@social.aa.net.uk I used to pay in checks by sending them to the internet bank in a freepost envelope. Then when I had an iphone I used to scan them with the app. But I don't think I would do that with Android. This is another win for the banks because if a customer pays into the wrong account then it is the customers fault.
