Wait wait wait.
You are telling me I can do this:
Open an ExchB account.
Walk down the street to a Chase or Wells Fargo branch.
Give them cash.
Get a receipt.
Take a picture of that receipt with my phone.
Email that picture to you (from my phone).
Have that money in my account with you ready to buy bitcoins THAT SAME DAY, maybe even in a few hours? MAYBE by the TIME I GET HOME?
THAT IS AWESOME.
However, A nice step by step walkthrough on your site for this would be very helpful. Things like "What to say to the teller" and "what to include in the email"

These instructions include deposit information and what to include in the e-mail. -Arthur

This site says they take personal checks.
How can they possibly do that with all the check fraud out there? What happens if somebody deposits a stolen check, then runs off with a bunch of bitcoins?

Cash clears when we verify your e-mail and check deposits typically clear overnight.
I'm assuming it's a calculated risk ExchB is willing to take. I'm also assuming the number of people committing check fraud by physically going into a bank with extensive video surveillance would be less than... Well... What Dwolla ran into with ACH's. -- If you're willing to go into a bank to commit check fraud by depositing into an account... You've got balls. Cheers, Kermee

If we already have a Wells Fargo account is there a way to simply transfer the funds online?

If we already have a Wells Fargo account is there a way to simply transfer the funds online? Yes, and it's free! (Well, as long as it's less than $1,000 per day.) You just have to know the account number, and the name of the person or company you're transferring to. See https://www.wellsfargo.com/help/faqs/transfers_faqs for details. I can't speak for weex, but we at GetBitcoin have had several successful orders using this payment method, and we do recommend it if you have a Wells Fargo account.

Still, I would feel better if the exchange only allowed cash deposits at the bank locations. There's always going to be somebody who is willing to grow a huge beard, travels three states north (to someplace where wearing a bulky coat and stocking cap won't attract attention, make a phony check deposit, drive back, shave the beard, shed the clothes (all of them), buy some bitcoins, and transfer them out of the exchange.

ExchB does not accept deposits via Wells Fargo's Transfer to Another Customer service.
Please do not send payments via this method. They will be returned.
In the future, we may accept payments this way. However, the total amount of deposits we can receive to our account is limited to $1000 per day. So, this method is not likely to have high availability to our customers.
For Wells Fargo customers we recommend (1) a cash deposit which is often credited in minutes or (2) using Bill Pay to send a check. Please see our Deposit page for full instructions.
Thank you,
-Arthur
