Just deposited a check using my phone. And now there's a pending deposit in my account. It's like magic. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 4, 12:16 11
- ok, I have questions. Do you have to be a VIP customer to do this? I mean, do they just let anyone have access to this feature? And, - CrankYanker Jul 4, 12:24 9
  - I got the app for my bank at Google Play. Then just logged in like I do on the internet. - CovingtonCat Jul 4, 12:28 6

      - they might not know this one is a duplicate, but they probably have some fuzzy logic flagging system, besides they can track you anywhere on earth now -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 4, 12:41 1
        
        The value won't be available until the check clears the issuing bank and if it"s a duplicate the issuing bank will decline it. -- nm - Ender Jul 4, 12:49
