You may have noticed that Chase Bank pushed an update to its mobile banking app for iPhone last week. The most notable feature is something called QuickDeposit, a way of depositing checks without going to the bank. You read that right; now you can take a check and deposit it minutes after getting it. No more driving to the bank and waiting in line…for deposits at least.

A second worm affecting jailbroken iPhones has been discovered, this one specifically targeting users of Dutch bank ING. It redirects users to a lookalike login page, presumably to steal their login information. Now, before everyone freaks out about iPhones being used for bank robbery, keep in mind that—like the previous iPhone worm—the user has to have SSH installed, and they can’t have changed the default SSH password.

I grew up in the period when banking was something that only happened Monday through Friday, during business hours. When you had to figure out how much money you needed before the weekend started—if you ran out before Monday morning at 8 a.m., you had to write a check>. It was a time of insanity and darkness, great beasts roamed the earth, and we watched shadows on the wall of caves and thought those were reality. Then, the ATM was invented.

The United States Automobile Association (USAA)—a privately held bank based in San Antonio, TX—will allow its customers to deposit checks using its iPhone application starting this week. The iPhone application will allow users to deposit checks simply by taking a picture of both sides of the check with the iPhone’s camera. That’s it. The entire process is done electronically, and the physical check can be voided, filed, or discarded.
