In return for your help, you’ll receive a $50 gift certificate valid at any of San Diego’s leading Cohn restaurants (including The Prado, Blue Point, Corvettes, and more).
Mobile Deposit was invented by Mitek Systems, Inc., a San Diego based developer of cutting-edge mobile OCR software. For over 20 years, Mitek has been a leading developer of security and character recognition software. Today, the top five banks in the United States use Mitek technology.

Mitek is looking for 30 test users. If you are among the first 30 people to sign up, Mitek will provide you with the downloadable app for you to install on your smartphone and will provide you with 30 “dummy” checks. After you view their five minute “How to” video on YouTube, you will be asked to use your phone to “deposit” each dummy check once from various indoor and outdoor locations that you select. After completing the 30 deposits, you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire https://www.emergencyhomesolutionsoc.com about your experience and suggestions.
