Doesn't the Good Sam Club have a banking account just for RV full timers ? I seem to recall someone that had a banking account with them

We also snail mail our cheques in, I think what Scott's issue is what to do with cash when you aren't near your bank. We are also musicians and often times thats how were paid, we put enough miles on that the cash usually can go to fuel pretty quick. I wonder Scott if you couldn't exchange the cash for a cheque at some of the venues you play?

Many banks these days and ever some credit unions allow one to deposit a check by simply using a smartphone app.  You just take a picture of the front and back of the check.  Banks electronically scan all checks these days anyhow and don't actually send the checks anywhere to be processed anymore.

Here's our article and current solution for mobile personal and business banking:

Basically, we use Chase for our business because we've not found a better solution that meets our needs. And we use Capital One (formerly ING) for personal - completely online checking.

Scott could just stuff the money in an envelope and send it to me and i could take care of it for him.!!!!!

Craig Holland nailed it. We get paid in cash largely. Our challenge is getting that cash into our bank account throughout the US. We also loved Chase but PNC is the last major bank offering free business checking. Anyway, the moneypak/paypal trick isn't what I thought it was. Nix that one. So, can we take our cash and purchase a prepaid visa and reload it??? Walmart??

I think what Craig was saying is that if the bus was rolling the cash wouldn't be an issue.

That's how I read it anyways ;)

Miss Y'all hope your staying warm!

Wells Fargo has what they call a PMA account (I think) that is free with a particular total balance in all of your accounts with them.  It is rather high though.  We have personal accounts with Chase also, and they do not charge any monthly fee.

I suppose you could buy money orders and make overpayments on your credit cards.  They will do the accounting for you as you use the card.  I think that they will only keep a positive balance for a couple of months before sending it to you in a check.
You don't have to believe everything you think.

I have never knew anyone that owned a bus that had to worry about having too cash much on hand  ;D 


I can understand why he wants in the bank I tried to pay cash for a airline ticket for my grandson what a nightmare that was I finally gave up and paid with a credit card

Haha. We aren't rich. But we are far from starving. All of our bills are paperless online and everything is automatic like a well oiled machine. The cash is the biggest pain. I'll keep searching for a solution. Costcos aren't everywhere either. The only thing we can count on nationwide is a walmart :)

Scott -

Since you already bank w/ Chase, have you checked to see if they might have a reloadable VISA card available?

That sounds like it might be a good option for your cash, especially since they seem to have almost as many branches around the country nowadays as [gag!] Bank of America.

FWIW & HTH. . .

LOL I bet our buddy Doyle was a tough @$# banker Bob...

Clifford as you know I have an ocular prosthesis and when I had a particularly hard decision to make, I'd ask the customer if he could tell which was real.  One guy was right on. He said "Of course, the left one is fake"  When I asked him how he knew... he said "It's the one with a little sympathy!"
A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities. They're just as sensitive and soft-hearted as the next guy, but they hide their vulnerability beneath a crust of misanthropy.

I guess you'd have been in real trouble if the glass one was more sympathetic.

Any bankers I ever dealt with I'd look for sympathy in the dictionary.
