Deposited check images can be accessed via login on your Mobile Deposit app where they are encrypted and stored for 5 days. However, you can view your deposit amounts in your account transaction history.
Is it easy to take good pictures from a camera phone?
Camera phone users are generally familiar with their device and with taking a picture of a friend - or a check! The Mobile Deposit app has been designed to be simple for a user, but also robust enough to catch errors. After a user takes images of both the front and back of a check, the Mobile Deposit app will analyze the images for quality and will provide you with feedback almost immediately. You will be notified if the images have been submitted successfully and that the transaction is complete. Alternatively, we may request that you retake the picture because there was a problem reading the check. For example, the user may have not taken a picture of the entire check or there was poor lighting, etc.
Can I make a Mobile Deposit to different accounts?
Yes, during the enrollment process, you may enter up to 6 accounts to be available for use. During the image upload process, you will select the account to which you want to make your deposit.
How long does it take to upload a deposit?
This will depend on the speed of your connection. Wi-Fi transmission submit times are usually in the 5-10 second range. 3G network transmission times range from 10-30 seconds and pre-3G transmission times range from 30-90 seconds.
How secure is this service and will the check images be saved on my mobile device?
Mobile Deposit provides the following security measures: Login and login authorization, encryption of locally stored data, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection requirement, two-factor authentication (unique device signature). No check images are stored on the device.
