It’s that simple! Most deposits (up to your available limit) will be available immediately and you’ll receive instant notification within the app that your deposit has been accepted.

Tips for Taking Good Photos:

  • Place the check on a dark surface
  • Take the photo when the edges are all green
  • Take your photo near a natural light source (don’t use flash or take the photo in a dark room)
  • Use the brightness slider bar to adjust a check image that is too dark or too light
  • Allow your device to auto focus the check image before clicking the capture button
  • Smaller devices like smartphones generally take clearer photos than tablets

Other Helpful Tips:

  • While we don’t need to receive your physical checks, we recommend keeping them in a safe place for 60 days after depositing using Mobile Check Deposit.
  • Don’t have a mobile device or a computer scanner? You can also make deposits through deposit-accepting ATMs or by mail.
  • Some checks may require additional review before they are processed. If your deposit requires review and is made Monday-Friday before 4 p.m. ET, it will be reviewed by the end of the business day. If the deposit is made on Monday-Friday after 4 p.m. ET, it will be reviewed on the next business day. We’ll send you an email notification once your check has been reviewed to let you know if it was accepted.
  • Some common reasons checks are held for review include:
    • Fields or characters on a check image that are difficult to read
    • Missing or illegible signatures
    • Duplicate check image
    • MICR Line (the series of numbers and symbols that appear along the bottom of your check) issue, such as:
      • Maker's signature loops into the MICR line
      • Check background image causes dark areas to appear in the MICR Line
      • Fold lines on the check causes shadows in the MICR Line
