Since I voted before I googled the meaning of "Interstitial" my vote is now probably still correct as I hate hovering ads.
But voting is biased due to over engineering the voting options! Simple english: More accurate voting as catering for non native English speakers which probably outnumber the readers from the UK and former colonies..
Nope, small businesses just require people to transfer money directly into their account. Either pre-, before whatever it is, so they can verify it, or post- (invoice) if they can trust them.
Thats how small sports teams, private instructors, charities etc do it over here(Norway).
Since transfers are free and nowadays pretty instant or at worst a few hours delayed this is quick and easy.
And these days people now can transfer money via their mobiles so this is now even easier.
When I first moved to the UK in the 90s I was surprised they still used cheques, and now nearly into 2010s it is quite bizarre. Since the rest of Europe has been fine without cheques for 20+ years I don't really think they need to worry!

Including email, intranet, internet web servers etc.
Got them in Oslo, Norway too.
I use them all the time, they make getting around town so easy.
The system here also has a realtime website with status of their 90ish depots/bikesheds. And if the one you are at is empty, then the screen lists the status of nearby depots.
There are some drawbacks with the free city bikes:
So I fully recommend them, it has made us get about town so much easier and quicker (and thus more often), but they are only useful if the depots are everywhere and stocked up.
