It's completely baffeling to me how an advanced country like the US can still be stuck with such an obsolete system.

There are so many small to midsize business that are still paying with paper checks for whatever reason even when other options are available.

My wife is an accountant and some of the stories she tells about helping business try to get paper checks to government entities to pay taxes or fees just leave me shaking my head every time.
