Wells Fargo soft launches mobile deposit

Wells Fargo has rolled out a mobile deposit feature in several parts of the country -- and hopes to have it in the Carolinas by the end of the year.

The feature allows customers to take a picture of a check through the bank's mobile app to deposit it, instead of having to go to a branch or ATM. It's becoming a common part of big banks' mobile banking.

It's now being introduced in parts of Arizona and the state of Washington. It is already available in the San Francisco area, Nebraska and Kansas.

Spokesman Josh Dunn said depending on how the soft launch goes, it will be available in North and South Carolina by the end of the year.
