U.S. Bank has rolled out a new mobile app, Deposit Express, for employees at small businesses to securely deposit a check by simply snapping a picture of it with the camera on their phone or tablet, according to a press release.

The bank said Deposit Express Mobile is best for small businesses that deposit fewer than 200 checks a month or for those with employees out in the field accepting checks from their customers.

"Using Deposit Express, customers can streamline their check deposit process, eliminating delays associated with trips to the branch or their office," said Sam Robb, head of receivables solutions for treasury management at U.S. Bank. "Deposit Express is specifically tailored to meet the needs of small businesses. It offers robust reporting and research capabilities, as well as integration of mobile and web deposit channels."
