Just a follow up note. I’m using Ubuntu 8.10. I’ve been able to make this work so far by using a virtual XP machine through Virtual Box. I then installed XP, Firefox and Java. Bank at home works well with this setup, though I’d love to see a solution that will allow me to scan straight from Ubuntu Linux.

Dave,

I’m a fellow Linux user (Ubuntu). Would you mind sharing your user agent string? Also, what do you mean you used files that you scanned from Gimp? How?

Thanks,
Vaughn

I’ve been using Deposit@Home with USAA and linux and firefox for a while now. I had to install the “User Agent Switcher” add-on and create a Mac OSX/firefox user agent definition. I then switch to that user agent, browse a couple sites, then go to USAA and log in. Then I go do the Deposit@Home stuff using images I scanned with Gimp/XSane. I also have the Java 1.6 plugin. It has been working great for a while.

Good luck!

My daughter has USAA and banks with them. They WILL NOT provide home deposit if you do not also have insurance with them.

Unfortunately I could not get this to work on the Mac – I tried 2 checks with multiple scans but it kept telling me the check was “not clear or not signed”. Arghh!

Same result as Jason on Linux, no go with the message “don’t meet minimum requirement”. Trying to see if I can do this using a virtual machine, but it’s a little trickier getting the VM to recognize the scanner. Will update if it works.

I am a long time USAA member, over 40 years. USAA has always offered superior service through all three of their service sectors, Banking, Insurance and Investment Services. I am very happy with them.

This is very cool, but I don’t think I qualify for a USAA account. Are there any other banks open to the general public that offer a simular service?

Tried it in linux … couldnt get it to work. Says you dont meet minimum requirements. Im guessing b/c of how the scanner integrates into firefox. Any ideas? It does work in firefox on a windows pc … just as an fyi.
