But now payments can be sent directly and in a few steps to the account, thanks to automation and banking technologies.

When the deposit reaches your account or the account of the person to whom the funds were sent, you don't need to take any procedure like accepting the process or signing on papers or anything else, but the funds will appear in the account automatically.

 There are some banks that allow deposits from ATMs that are now everywhere without a bank card, only by writing the account number on the machine. However, other banks don't accept deposits without a card which makes it necessary to visit the bank branch where you want to deposit funds.
