I use it, but the majority of my customers still pay by cash / cheque.

I probably wouldn't bother with it if I was building my round again, but a few do like it.

Any idea when they are getting rid of the cheque?

Someone told me they were getting rid of it next year. I cant see it happening peronally.

i use it, no probs so far, i do charge £1 for the priviledge to cover their charges, if its cash in your pocket then im happy.
so far i have these options

cash
chq
bank transfer
paypal

maybe in the future internet payment might be useful, as long as it doesnt cost too much.

It works for me. I never set it up or advertised for it, i just got an email one day saying i had funds so i created an account and sure enought they where there, just the one custy does it every month. It charges you summat like 40p per transaction though if i remember correctly.

I have it but less and less people use it. Only about 4 a month use it now. The internet payers seem to prefer normal internet banking for some reason. Suits me as it is free.
