I ask for 12 post dated checks, i take a picture of the check via wells fargo mobile deposit on the 1st of every month. Money posts quickly, no fees. Does this count as electronic?
Sorry, no. You killed a bunch of trees and magnetic ink to have them write those checks.
BTW, the 20th century called, they want their checks back.
Living in Europe, where we can transfer money between accounts on a one-off, scheduled, or regular basis, I find this whole attachment to paper checks simply wasteful in time and resources. In fact, my bank didn't even bother to print checks for us.
I suppose the problem is that US banks don't want to offer a service for which they cannot charge a fee. Maybe they make money printing checks, though processing them must cost more (even if they photograph the checks). I don't see how banks can make a profit that way; perhaps they do in their monthly fees.
In any case, this has created the opening for Paypal and others, but as a landlord, I refuse to pay a processing fee. Instead, my tenants walk to the branch of our bank nearest them and deposit the check on the first workday of each month - wasting their time and money, not mine.
