I have USAA and use the Deposit@Home feature regularly. it is amazing and simple. I have deposited by scanner and by phone and have yet to have a check that didn't go through successfully and I've done it at least a hundred times. I don't use my USAA account for anything but that reason. Also, because of this feature I no longer use brick and mortar banks either.

The only checks I've had that don't go through are when the signature goes through the Account/Routing/Check number space. I'm guessing the errant pen stroke messes with the OCR they use.
