I mean with the IBAN system, checks are pretty much obsolete in Europe anyways. It's so easy to send and receive money there, directly through your bank's app, that third-party payment apps like paypal, venmo, cashapp, zelle etc. are practically non-existent if they even work there at all (which gives me some ideas as to why we don't have a similar North American system)
