USAA is “going Android” to allow Google OS-powered smartphone owners to deposit checks using their handsets, just like on the iPhone. Users do this by submitting an image of the front and back of an endorsed check.
A device running Android 1.6 or higher is required and you can grab the app from here (and from the Android Market).
And for the record, during the first five month after the iPhone app has been released, USAA customers have deposited more than $300 million. Impressive!
About The Author
Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
