The USAA has created an iPhone app that eliminates the need for going to the bank to deposit your cheques.
The USAA iPhone app lets users snap a picture of the front and back of their cheque and deposit it into their account. While only currently in use for active-duty military personnel, this app is a cool step towards no bank lines (exciting!). While definitely not an app for those who don’t trust technology, this seems like a cool new development in easy banking.
