Wow, well we still have them here. I do notice that not many young people use 
a teller. Its mostly the "older crowd".

Yes, cheques are used quite frequently here. Granted, you cannot pay for 
groceries with a cheque, but I can pay my other bills and my landlord with one
if so desired... but I almost always use on-line banking.

The fees, however, are a bit of a deterrant to frequent use of the "tap" card.

I actually somehow doubt that anyone can just withdraw funds from an American
account with the account/routing number like what has been mentioned here.
Theres primitive, and then theres just plain outright stupidity; the amount of
fraud and laundering must be the highest in the world.
