Under the deal, Juniper customers will be able to deposit their checks free of charge at any Mail Boxes location.
San Diego-based Mail Boxes will process shipping orders for customers and issue them a receipt and tracking number so they can track the deposit online at Juniper's Web site or through a Mail Boxes store. Deposits will be able to be mailed to Wilmington, Del.-based Juniper by the United Parcel Service's (UPS) second-day air or overnight option.
"Up to this point, online banking has been limited in part because it has been difficult to make a deposit, which is a basic step in your banking life," Juniper chief executive Richard Vague said in a statement. "We want to make banking as simple as possible for our customers, so we are looking for creative solutions to fit our customers' needs."
