   Honestly, if I'm at a machine, It might as well be an ATM that allows   
   deposits,  which I've seen for years. Worst case, the depsited checks take a   
   day or two to post to your account, which can happen in any case.  I was   
   tempted to ask for rolls of change to see how that was handled, as the only   
   slots I saw were where the cash/checks were fed in and the slot bills came   
   out, and the receipt printer.  I didn't notice any thing to deal with coibs.

   Some banks do have mobile apps that handle depositing checks electrinuxally,   
   but I'm not sure how it works exactly.  But there are many places around here   
   that don't accept checks.     
      
   When I first opened the account with my current bank, my checking account was   
   actually called "No check checking."   
      
   WHhile on this subject, does your shop accept electronic payments?   
      
   I ask, because last summer while I was trying to get my nursery/yard art   
   business going, I primarily used Online market places like LetGo or OfferUp.   
      
   Mostly LetGo, because I liked the interface better. It was aquired by Offerup   
   though so that's that.   
      
   In any case, a few people when asking about plants and such, asked me uf I   
   accepted Venmo or CashApp or Paypal.  Through those you can process payments   
   and Transfer funds to the bank electronically.  Just an idea.
