Assuming that this relates to checks/cheques, are they going away in the US?

This used to be more important when you wrote paper checks and received a monthly paper statement from your bank. Most people who “balance” their accounts today seem primarily concerned that they are adhering to their personal budget. But the term remains.
I’m sorry but this sentence makes absolutely zero sense to my europoor brain.
What do you mean when you say mail a payment and why would you need to do that. I literally lack the imagination.
* mailing a check
* paying via credit card over the phone for a hefty surcharge
* cash in person
In my case, I used my online banking to send the amount to the mailing address on the bill. In some cases - for large companies, typically - my bank can send the remittance electronically. In others, though, they fill out a paper check on my behalf and send it via the postal system. This service is fee free to me, or else I’d have sent the letter myself.
