You can use your online banking "bill paying" service to send yourself a check at the other bank, to have the check deposited to you in your checking account on the receiving end.

Citizens Bank here told me that many customers use their out of state bank's online banking bill payer service, to send themselves a check to deposit here in their account at Citizens. The receiving end checking account number here needs to be placed in the check contents' reference line. I've done it and it works fine. They can tell you how to do it.

Our northern bank also has "external transfers", in which you set up your checking/savings account there to send money to an external bank, via your online banking site. That takes them awhile to set up the security of the electronic transfer, but once that's done it works fine.
