They can pay me with gold ingots. I don't mind

Seriously though, I will need to adjust how I receive payments eventually. A few pay by bank transfer already. I will need to accelerate that at some point. Even those without internet banking can use telephone banking.
Several years ago I totted it all up. In that particular year, about 55% of my turnover was paid by cheque. I've no reason to believe that has changed significantly since then. The majority of those cheques were delivered by the postman. Probably one third of my income is delivered by post as cheques. Personally I am fine with this situation. I just scan them, sort out the deposit paperwork, and make the deposit.
I would much rather be able to take the money direct from the customers' accounts by direct debit though (subject to the usual 10 day notice period).
