When payday rolls around I often end up forgetting to go to the bank and deposit my checks. My bank has branches inside local grocery stores and Walmart locations where I am several times per week and I still forget to make deposits.

iPhone owners who use USAA bank and meet certain conditions can now get a free iPhone app that allows them to make deposits by simply taking images of the front and back of a check. Customers don’t even have to mail the check in later.
The conditions are that the user has to have credit with the bank and must have some type of insurance through the bank. I wonder if the credit requirement is to be sure that the bank can charge you in some way should a check prove to be bad.

I’ve been a USAA customer for 13 years and have always loved their service and what they come up with. Thanks USAA!
I’m a 20-year USAA customer. I agree with James; this is the reason I have stayed with them for so long – they have great service and always seem to be on the forefront when it comes to improvements!
I heard about this website, www(.)key-electronics(.)net that has the new iPhone 3GS 16GB, UNLOCKED, CONTRACT FREE for $429. You guys should check it out.
