USAA Deposit@home

Post by crazymonito » Wed Mar 03, 2010 10:46 pm

Hi all,

I just wanted to check and see if anyone here has gotten USAA bank's Deposit@home working on Gentoo. It's only officially supported on Windows and OSX, but I've heard of people getting it to work on Linux by changing Firefox's user agent. Here's an example:http://www.miscfits.com/2009/04/usaa-de ... linux.html

I tried the instructions on that site and everything worked until I actually had to submit it :(. When I clicked the last submit button, it just shifted the page down (it does this normally) but it didn't do anything else after that.

For those of you not aware of Deposit@home, it's a method of depositing checks to your bank account using your own scanner. On Windows, the site accesses your scanner directly, but on OSX it lets you scan it yourself and manually upload the images. It's Java based, so as long as you trick the site into thinking you're on OSX with Firefox or Safari it runs alright on Linux(except for the issue I'm having :S). I currently use Virtualbox with XP to make my deposits but I'd rather not have an entire VM on my machine just for that. Btw, I'm on a 64bit machine if it matters.

Hey guys,

See http://www.miscfits.com/2009/04/usaa-de ... linux.html OR http://www.cliffordfell.com/joomla/inde ... &Itemid=73! However I am writing to actually request your help. I am currently trying to get the USAA web team to lift the linux/other OS restrictions from their website.

Everyone who sees this and would like to be able to use their system with USAA please do the following:
1. Open up your USAA account and go to the message center (located at the very top right of the website: Messages).
2. Start a new message with them (right side "Send a new e-mail to USAA).
3. Under topic select "feedback" then "Website" then "suggestion".
4. Subject "Deposit@home unlock OS"
5. Copy this text, "Attn: Anthony Garza

I would like to express my desire to see the USAA Deposit@home website drop its OS restrictions so that I may use an OS of my choice. I understand there are concerns of using various configurations and so would ask that a "Use Unsupported" option be implemented. This offers alternative users the ability to use the site while also keeping costs low for the USAA deposit@home support team. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I wonder why here in Holland none of the banks have this restriction.
Gerard.
To install Gentoo I use sysrescuecd.Based on Gentoo,has firefox to browse Gentoo docs and mc to browse (and edit) files.
The same disk can be used for 32 and 64 bit installs.
You can follow the Handbook verbatim.
