CheckFree Introduces On-line Deposits
February 8, 2008 – 5:59 am
Finally, we will be able to almost totally eliminate those trips to the bank. For those of us who have been using on-line banking for a while, that trip to the bank to deposit a check remained the final impediment to totally on-line banking. Now CheckFree Corporation is introducing a new service will let us deposit checks from home.
You will need a scanner, a computer and an Internet connection. Once the service is available at your bank, you’ll simply go to your home banking site, enter the amount of the check, scan both sides and send it of to your bank with a click of your mouse.
Of course, depending on where you do your banking, you may have to wait a while. Banks must offer the technology in order for customers to use it but the service is expected to become a standard in the banking industry.
