Yeah I get checks from US sponsors. I tend not to think of them as checks, because American checks have to go through a special account for special processing. But it is years since I last wrote or received a British check. We tend to use cards, direct transfers, or PayPal (mostly cards). The newest thing seems to be app to app transfers (i.e. if you owe a friend or a tradesman money you can send it from your 'phone to their 'phone) however I'd have to upgrade my 'phone to do that (to Android or Apple) and it would not be worth it unless the US sponsors started paying that way.
I just realised that it is so long since I dealt with a non US check that I have been automatically using the American word (check) rather than the English word (cheque).
