Just can’t keep up or don’t want to....

Was in bank this arvo depositing a cheque.

They said oh you don’t have to do that any more there’s a App that photographs cheque and numbers across bottom you the press send and you’ve deposited cheque.

Keep original for records perhaps.

I really must be in dark ages but had zero idea such a technology exists.

Guess it’s progress

So someone cleverly changes payee somehow and photographs cheque?

Anyway not for me this new depositing system.

Yet we have an elevator printing check in Winnipeg and overnight delivery to us. Yea it's a big new world. They screw up in Winnipeg lots so have to reissue.

Kids have been using this for a couple or three years here. I won't put a banking app on my phone. I don't feel that it is secure. There was a farm taken for $600,000 this year through a hacked phone.

Don't want the grief.

So did they loose the $600k?

Had credit card problems more than a few times.
Most after trips to USA. They still take your card and bugger off with it when you eat or go to a bar.

My son uses that pic of the cheque deal.
Also shops primarily on the internet. Doesn't seem to have as much trouble as us.

Someone used my card one time in Toronto. Canceled it and about 3 months later started using wifes card. Seemed to have access to the account?

Seems it can only be the hotel booking system. Somewhere along the way from the front desk to who knows where the card number is lifted and sold.

It's the only way to explain how a little while after your stay in Toronto you are buying furniture in South Carolina

Banks cover small ( under 1k?)
Charges virtually no question.
The don't want anybody to stop using the plastic.

My wife's credit card was stolen couple months ago. I told the cops " let them keep it, they're spending less than she does"

Did one big check this way and it still says it's on hold for five days or walk in and deposit and it's good. Go figure.

Guess who benefits from a 5 day hold? Hint it isn't you.

Good to hear I’m not alone in the Stone Age. My grandparent, my dad. They’d be utterly disgusted with today’s world. Sucks being born sixty years late.
