Bill Pay!

How easy would it be for a Bitcoin bank to cut a check out to your electric company, cable company, etc?

In essence it would layer on top of an exchange, and when a check needs to be sent out, it converts bitcoins to dollars, and sends a check.

You would never need to touch dollars, and you can set up automated payments out to whoever you had to pay.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Actually, it may be better to skip the whole bank aspect.

I send bitcoins to a check printer for them to send out a check to someone who has billed me. No need for a bank.
