Can anyone explain why, after 20 years of membership, it is now impossible to pay my dues from overseas?

I do not own a check book, haven't written a check in over 30 years.

Getting US$ cash is OK but mailing them is not recommended.

All I want to do is pay with a debit card.

All my local shops accept my debit card from HSBC (a UK based Bank which is one of the largest truly global Banks).  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSBC#/media/File:HSBC_World.svg

You can pay via PayPal.

I would suggest you contact the President or Secretary of the AFCA.
