Yes, but personal checks, credit cards, debit cards, check cards, and
USPS money orders are no problem over here, so there is not that much of
a need. Furthermore many of us have problems with giving strangers
access to our bank accounts, we do not have the banking protections
Europeans do.
Bank xfer fees @ my bank were $15.00 the last time I checked.

Bank transfers are expensive and difficult to do in the USA. They are
set up for large commercial transactions. I had someone who wanted

You can buy a check protector (the gizmo that embosses the amount) for
$29.95. Man you do not realize what quality modern counterfeiters can
produce. The reason the US is going to some much expense producing new
currency is that everybody and their retarded brother can copy the old

I can transfer to any Australian financial institution for free and an
overseas transfer costs me AU$20 to initiate, US$65 to accept an
incoming transfer seems a bit steep.

Am I right that customers pay US banks to deposit their money?

Is there a monthly charge on most regular checking accounts in the US? Yes.
Does a customer pay a charge on each deposit? No.
Just to clarify my comment a little more, when making photos like this, do
you sometimes bracket DOF as one might with exposure?

The tree is very good - I'd like to see how it would look with a slightly
shallower DOF, more just for comparison
Sorry, I was talking about international stuff. Never needed to do one
internally - if someone's got an account, they can take a cheque. I would

Oh no! We pay them to service our checks, send us statements, and
ridiculous overdraft fees. They do not charge deposit fees GRIN!.
Actually if you are a smart shopper there are ways to get free checking
without having to keep an outlandish minimum balance.

Not anymore. Just like consumer protection laws most of that has been
quiterly done away with, we just think our money is safe. More laws
regulating individuals, less regulating corporations and the government,
that is the rule of the 21st Century.

First of all, not everyone's as clever as you are, and they may not know
the subtle differences between a real or forged money order. You handle a
lot of these items per year, some people may only get one or two MO's per
year, if that many. Sometimes even the people at the bank are fooled.
