No guarantee

[tobyaw]

Cheque guarantee cards will no longer be valid from 30 June this year. I got a leaflet about it with my bank statement in the post today; maybe it is old news, but I hadn't heard about it before. I guess that the few businesses that still accept cheques won't for long.

It is part of the gradual phasing out of cheques; the target end date for cheques is 31 October 2018.
