There are some days where it seems as if going to the bank or an ATM to make a deposit seems like the biggest hassle in the world. I’m not sure why I feel this way but there have been days where I refuse to go or even worse I completely forget and that delays me access to my money. I just read this article in the New York Times about scanning checks and sending them to the bank electronically. For some reason, this seems a lot easier to me but I wonder if scanning checks would become the hassle that a physical deposit already represents in my mind. This would help the online banks like ING or the those rewards checking accounts that require the majority of your business to be done online. One thing’s for sure, if this catches on industry wide, I’m fairly certain that I would get rid of my Chase accounts and that would be a good thing.
