Is there any way I can pay my rent without going to a bank branch?

I make a deposit into my landlord's business bank account.

I write his name and account number on the deposit slip, make the check out to him, and write 'for deposit only' on the back of the check. I've been doing this for years, and it works fine.

Obviously I'm not on the account, so I don't have a PIN and can't use an ATM. I assume for the same reason I wouldn't be able to use the Chase mobile banking app to make a deposit? Also, I have Chase credit cards and would prefer not to entangle or associate his account with mine in any way.

My main bank account is at another national bank. I'd be willing to do an electronic transfer, if that would be possible (and free). That's generally not a big deal with personal accounts, but I wasn't sure if it would work since this is a business account and at another bank. I'd also be willing to set up a Chase account and transfer funds into it that I then use to transfer to his account, if doing it from one Chase account to another would be any easier.

I can't use Venmo. It no longer works with my bank. I do have a PayPal account. Thanks.
