    Mod parent up, I'm on usaa and I've been depositing my checks using my iphone and now my android phone for about a year now.

    People are still using cheques, how quaint. I haven't seen one in years.

    Do fax me your reply, I'll send something back via telegraph or the fastest Royal Mail steamer.
