Banks are not actively discouraging the use of cheques. I think the customer is at play here, they want faster payments and so they move away from cheques, looking at most banks their digital platforms have some limits on transaction value which forces the use of cheques and other instruments. If banks saw the value of no cheques they would have done away with it ages ago. While there is a case for cheques being a post dated instrument so are alarm clocks posted dated.
Where will all the investment into cheque scanners and clearing systems go if cheques become obsolete?
