If you could deposit a check by taking pictures of the front and back and then “sending” it via your phone, what problem would that solve for you?
Having to go to the bank to deposit the check?
Having to stand in the line at the bank to deposit the check?

Or…
Does it solve your longstanding frustration at not being able to deposit checks from your bathroom?
Give your targeted listeners a “test drive” of the results of this service — which in real life are unlikely involve the dining room, the guest room, or the bathroom.
Also, the person experiencing the “test drive” (as a surrogate for the targeted listener) should not be an idiot. Are you saying to yourself, “Gee, I’m just like that guy”? Doubtful. If you were that stupid, you wouldn’t be reading this blog.

Amateurs, amateurs, amateurs.
