Through newly added Deposit Point Mobile feature, customers can capture a photo of the front and back of the check, enter the dollar amount of the deposit, select the checking or savings account into which the money should be deposited and validate the information that was submitted.
The bank said initially Deposit Point Mobile is available to its Mobile Wallet users who have an iPhone, and is planning to expand the feature to Android customers in the summer of 2011.
Another new feature Credit Card Alerts allows customers to view their credit card accounts via their mobile device with real-time text or email alerts, including suspicious activity alerts that warn of possible fraud.
US Bank executive vice president and chief strategy officer Mac McCullough said that these enhancements are the result of dynamic and integrated work across the company with the goal of bringing mobile convenience to more customers in more lines of business.
"We expect this trend to continue through 2011 and into 2012," McCullough said.
