France eliminates check payments to the public treasury

lemonde.fr (French) [$]

France is phasing out check payments to the public treasury, with businesses no longer able to use them starting March. Individuals are encouraged to adopt alternative payment methods before summer 2027, when the last public check processing center will close. This move reflects a significant decline in check usage, with checks now representing less than 2% of transactions in France, down from 37.5% in 2000.
