Now if this isn’t the way of the future, I don’t know what is! US bank is now updating their iPhone application to feature check deposit via the phones camera!! The check never has to enter the bank at all. After you take the photo of the front and back, the pictures zoom their way to the clearing department, and you get your money. You can either trash the check, or dispose of it via a shredder, but you have now saved yourself a trip to the bank! How cool is that???
