Have you ever experienced fraud? Some of us don't realize what it means and how simple it really is. Although is can apply to many crimes fraud is usually directly related with the use or gain of money or goods that in reality do not belong to you. When we thinking of our current banking situation it may dawn on us that fraud can occur from something as simple as a faulty signature or the misusing of a credit card that's not yours. Because it is so easy for some one to grab a pen and sign a check, use someone else's card, or even peak over a person's shoulder and learn their pin number.

The fact that it is so easy to basically steal money from others has made many consumers have worried that this too will happen to them. How are banks, the central intermediaries of money handling, addressing the issue? Easy they are beginning to market and develop new technologies that will put their customers at ease.

All the consumer must do is log in to their banking app, find the option for depositing a check click on it allowing the screen to turn into a camera, and finally take a picture of the check.

There is talk about doing away with bank cards and pin number all together and replacing them with finger prints or retina readers. Checks may cease to exist soon. And how will banks market this? They will simply tell banks that apart from being safe its convenient. Your finger print is only yours and no one else's giving a 100% guarantee that you and only you have access to your money.
