I can't see this being forge-proof at all. Checks have a number of security features that obviously wouldn't show up in a picture from a camera phone - if a camera phone picture could reproduce the security features, check forgers would be using camera phones and photoshop. Reply

@Dreamwriter: it doesn't have to be forge proof. it is really easy to defraud the bank and deposit the check twice. take a picture and the drop it in the ATM. it will take them a bit to figure it out and if there aren't holds you can make a quick (illegal) buck. Reply

This will make it much more convenient for deposed Nigerian presidents to collect transfer fees to access their secret off shore bank accounts. Reply

USAA has been doing something similar for a few years at least, but not with phone cameras (cool!). You scan it in, and it deposits for you. Reply

@Hijakk: they have been working on the picture with phone technique too.


the biggest worry is abuse and fraud. Reply

@Lite: Sarcasm has to be totally absurd and over the top in order for it to work on the internet. Your comment sounded serious. Reply

@Mike Zuniga: Screaming about the apple induced financopocalypse is serious sounding? Man, where the hell have I been? Reply
