Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.
Anyways just wanted to share.

Checks? Do they still exist?
Americans skipped adoption of Chip and PIN, and they were like a decade late with contactless payments. Their payment systems are laughably outdated.
Ah, that’s likely why there are lots of comments about using the website. I pretty much only use the banking apps for cash transfer and contactless payments. Handier to verify by fingerprint than transcribe SMS or other authentication in a browser. I wish it wasn’t and websites could be just as handy and I could remove apps. I also wish PayPass wasn’t tied to google.
They can be pretty handy. I’ve paid for a parking ticket with one (skipping a credit card transaction fee), got paid for a car I sold with one, and paid for a scooter with one. Aside from paying rent with checks.
I’m glad it works for you, but it seems not very handy of you have to carry them to use them and from memory, they expire. So I’d imagine if you don’t use often, when you go to use them, you’d need to reorder a new check book.
Generally here, it’s no cost to pay by bpay, a bank transfer system. And for paying people, transfer between digital accounts is instant.
Of someone wanted to pay for a car/scooter by check, they’re not getting the car from me until the money has clear which would be days later.
I suppose it’s handier than carrying large amounts of cash but there are much more convenient methods nowadays.
