Deposit checks with your iPhone

I am going to snap a picture of my weiner and send it in. I'll let you know how many duckets get deposited into my account.

I am a customer and I'm continuously blown away by how much USAA does to help me!

While I've gone paperless where ever possible, I do travel a lot and, unfortunately, have to deal with actual reimbursement checks -- and there's nothing we can do about that.. believe me, we've tried. So, yes, I can totally see times where this feature will save me the trouble of figuring out how to get it deposited.

Why would someone claim something is not useful for anyone just because it doesn't fit *their* particular needs? Ask anyone who is a USAA customer and they'll tell you it's the best bank in the world. I can only imagine the people who work for them must be overjoyed to know their company has such great customer satisfaction.

I just wish USAA would get the kinks worked out of their other online venues before moving on to the "next big thing". It's sort of like the trail of half-finished projects around my house...

I have used USAA for insurance for many years. They have the best service and lowest prices.

I tested out the deposit by iphone today: it worked flawlessly. because of this, I may move my accounts from wells to usaa.

I just got the update and deposited the pile of checks I've been putting off using my scanner to deposit.

The iPhone app was quick and worked well. In the 4 checks I deposited, there were a couple times when the image didn't pass the app's validation and it asked me to retry. The retry process was quick, painless and very user-friendly.

My only gripe is that the default account it chooses is my Savings Account. I wish there was a way to override this. I'll keep digging to see if I can find it.

Good thing is that USAA distributes full reports to their customers several times per year, and we are able to see exactly where our money is going and how it's helping its members.

I actually receive dividend checks once per year from USAA. They've been smaller in recent years due to Midwest flooding, hurricanes, and the like. I feel pretty damn good that USAA is helping its members recover from disasters and helps distribute its wealth. We also get rebates on debit card uses, reimbursement for ATM fees, and the lowest insurance rates out there (I say this in confidence, because I've checked around...many times...in different states...with different companies...and USAA just can't be beat). They saved my backside when the power was out for 3-4 days a few years ago and my basement flooded.

So, Joanna D, "nice try," but USAA members are fully informed, the company is accountable, and their customer service can't be beat. You may now retreat to your dark corner and sulk.

The MBP will not get a Blu-Ray drive before the Mac Pro does.

For those interested, the update is available now. Just tested it and it works great!

Since many of USAA's customers are in the military and widely dispersed across the country (and world), and USAA has a single physical branch, this project is helping serve the customer. For years they have done an excellent mail-in deposit program, but I've found deposit@home to be fantastic. I don't deposit many checks, but I've never had a problem doing it from my Mac/HP scanner combo. I can't wait to try the iPhone app.

USAA is a relatively small bank, but because their customers are so spread out, they have absolutely phenomenal online and telephone services to make banking remotely work well.

I wish I could do this with my current bank. Unfortunately they have hardly any locations in this area.

My work does not offer direct deposit, when I asked they gave me some half-asses excuse. It's has become increasingly inconvenient to have to go to my bank to deposit my check.

All my other banking is done online via computer or mobile device.
