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.               AA> Which reminds me, I'll probably want to discourage cheques now         AA> too. The only way to process them is to go to a bank. No thanks.        AA>               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.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: theoasisbbs.ddns.net:1357 (1:106/127)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/127 129/305 153/757 221/6 229/426 664 700 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 301/1 322/757       PATH: 106/127 221/6 153/757 229/664 426           |
