Ohio-headquartered Fifth Third Bank has announced a new feature for its mobile app which will enable customers to deposit cheques using their mobile phones.
According to Fifth Third Bank, customers will be able to make deposits by photographing both sides of an endorsed cheque, choosing the account to deposit the cheque into and then confirming the amount.
