Locally, tradespeople are moving to eTransfers as the preferred method of payment. Oh, they'll take a cheque, and certain work is always paid in cash
, but the most common scenario seems to be settling on eTransfers. Which is mildly annoying because it costs me $1.50 per transfer, but honestly that's a rounding error for most jobs.
