She whips out her BlackBerry, scans the check and transmits the image to her firm’s East Coast concentration bank account, where the funds are swept into interest-earning investments. This same scenario plays out for a consultant with an iPhone or a college fund-raiser with an Android or a salesman with the right smart phone.
