We are concerned with fraud, but to cut back on liability, our bank will not be offering this product to just anyone. Kinks still need to be worked out and besides; the cost of the machine alone is about $600 bucks for the single feed-yourself machine, and about $1000 bucks for the multiple check feeder. No one is going to want to spend money on something that they could come in and do themselves. This product, as I see it, is there to help businesses who take in ton of checks. It’s quite redundant when it comes to personal use. Thus, this new product is not going to anytime soon replace physical front-line banking staff. Also, at my bank, there will be no fees; just a one-time payment for the machine and that is it. In this world of competitive banking, customer service is the key. Scan Checks at Home:
