Why do banks, or i guess it's the check companies, insist on sending about twenty deposit slips with every 150 checks?

This is the 'online banking' age! Banks obviously know it, 'cos my online banking site has more functionality than i could have ever hoped for!

Thanks to online banking, i only write two... rarely three... checks a month. However, i do still need to wander into the bank to deposit money. I think i use maybe four deposit slips a month.

So, because of the ratio of check/deposit slips in the current check bundles, i run out of deposit slips loooong before i run out of checks. Then i need to go to the bank and fill one out completely... because it isn't pre-printed/pre-filled out.

Which means i can't use the ATM for off-hour deposits. Which means i'm the guy who holds up the line in the early a.m. because they have to send the li'l tube to me an extra time with a blank slip.

Really, the check printing companies should offer an online banking package... one that is at least half deposit slips/half checks. Or maybe offer a book that is entirely deposit slips.

Personally, i think it is a brilliant idea! =^)
