Depositing checks from your phone or other mobile device is easy and convenient!
You can do almost anything with your smartphone these days, including handle most of your financial needs. Your mobile banking app allows you to check your balances, transfer funds, pay bills and open accounts, all from the comfort of your home or office. One of the most convenient features of mobile banking is the mobile deposit feature. With just a snap of a picture and a click of a button, you can deposit a check within minutes!
Here are 4 tips to easier mobile deposits:
Picture Perfect - When it comes to mobile deposits, it's all about the picture. Make sure the photo of the check is clear and focused. Avoid holding the check at angles that create heavy shadows and make sure to capture all four corners of the check. This will help to ensure that all necessary check details are included.
Clear the Stubs- Stubs get no love in the world of mobile deposits. To avoid your mobile deposit picking up unnecessary information, separate the check from any pay stubs or slips that may be attached.
Background Check - A plain, dark background provides the best contrast for a mobile deposit. Avoid taking the photo on patterned surfaces or in cluttered area.
Make Your Mark - Stay organized and avoid duplicate deposits by clearly marking your check once your mobile deposit has been processed. A small check mark in one corner will do! This will help avoid duplicate deposits that can be confusing and costly.
