Smartl phones are really good for depositing checks to the bank.
Now
I
don't have to be afraid the guard will shoot me by mistake.

You must really have an off brand bank if you don't drive by a
branch
every time you are out and the ATM is really easy to use if the
Covid
has the lobby closed. I assume if I internet banked I could drop
a
check on my scanner and deposit it tho. The reality is I only
cash
about a dozen checks a year and most come quarterly (dividends).
Four trips a year to the bank is not a burden

Make it real easy for yourself; have your dividends ACH deposited
to
your checking account. No more worries about the check getting
lost or
stolen in the mail. No misplacing/losing it at home. No more
needing
to make a trip to an ATM or the bank. And, you have access to your
money sooner.
Since they might sit in the drawer for a month I doubt I really
care
how soon I have access to the money. I don't float with my mouth so
close to being underwater.
I like seeing the checks and sometimes I just give them to my wife.
She likes that.

You folks act like I make a special trip to the ATM,
I drive by it 3 or 4 times a week.

Still makes more sense to have it show up in the
checking account completely automatically, dinosaur.

Most of my dividends go to the brokerage account
but I still have some shares I am holding personally.
Those are the ones I get checks for.

Maybe I am not sure where I want it.

Trivial to move it once it shows up.

Like I said, sometime I give them to my wife.

Not really, without writing another check.

With online banking, I can transfer money from any one
of my bank accounts to any other. Another check is
not required.

Between banks?

Yep, any bank account in the country in my case.

We have 5 plus a brokerage account. I can't even move
money from my bank to my brokerage account electronically

Then you need a better bank, stupid.

? since Dodd Frank and they are the essentially same
people. DF built a wall between them. (two web
sites that do not talk directly with each other).

Stick with what you know asshole. Retail banks and brokers are
separated by federal law. Dodd/Frank

From a money transfer perspective, that's not true. Everything is
connected.
