US bank Chase has updated its iPhone app, adding remote cheque deposit and person-to-person payment features.
To make a deposit using the app, customers enter the account details and payment amount before adding photos of the front and back of the cheque taken with their iPhone or iPod camera. USAA bank introduced a similar feature last year.
Chase has also added P2P QuickPay to the latest version of its free app, enabling payments to be made to anyone as long as the customer has their e-mail address.
