"Paper checks have virtually disappeared from the clearing process, following the adoption of the Check 21 legislation in 2004. In 2012 nearly all commercial checks processed by the Fed were converted to electronic images for presentment, payment, and record keeping." from https://www.frbsf.org/research-and-insights/publications/doctor-econ/2012/04/check-processing/
