Deposit Checks from Work and Home

Today’s banking world is always growing and attempting to provide the best features available. However, more and more of these services are moving out of the physical bank location and towards the age of online banking. Most business and many regular customers have been paying bills automatically online for a few years now. The most recent feature starting to be offered by banks is depositing checks from your business location or home. This would eliminate the need to drive to the bank and wait in any lines.

“Online banking service provider CheckFree Corp. is rolling out technology that could mean consumers will no longer have to go to a bank branch to deposit checks. Called Remote Deposit Capture, the technology has been around for years and lets people scan checks through their home computers and deposit them electronically. But it has been used mainly for businesses. Customers want to be able to deposit checks without having to go to banks, said Rod Springhetti, CheckFree's vice president of global strategic marketing, and banks want to be able to offer that. ‘I think the ability to remotely capture a check will become part of the standard features and functions of online banking,’ Springhetti said. CheckFree said the service is available starting this week for any consumers who bank online, as long as their banks offer it.”
