I’m Never Going to a Bank Again by Craig Stein

In the time it took me to go down in the elevator, I deposited two checks into my Chase bank account today with my iPhone and their mobile banking app. Basically all I had to do was take a quick picture of the front and back of each check with my phone’s camera and then voila, my lovely KBS+P expense checks were, well, money in the bank.

If the ATM wasn’t the death of the bank teller, this type of technology very well may be. It’s amazing how technologies are revolutionizing functions we thought would never change, like waiting on line forever for an ATM or a teller.

Now if only if my iPhone could spit some cash out for me, that’d be awesome. Then again, I’m sure I’ll just be able to swipe it soon to pay for everything anyway.
