Mobile Deposit Tips

 

  • Endorse your check by signing the back in blue or black ink and writing “For Remote Deposit Only, AAGCU, acct#_____” near your signature
  • Use a dark backdrop when photographing your check
  • Smooth out check so that it lies flat
  • Know that some checks don’t work with Mobile Deposit, e.g., checks with a cluttered design and occasionally  unemployment insurance checks and money orders
Photo Tips

 

  • Hold the phone directly above the check, do not hold phone at an angle
  • Hold the phone as steady as possible
  • Keep the default flash on for better lighting
  • Verify the entire check is visible and that the text is clear
Post- Deposit Tips

 

  • Mobile check deposits can take a few minutes to appear and do not show up immediately
  • Call us at (206) 824-9800 if you need assistance with your deposit
  • Avoid duplicating a deposit by writing “Deposited” on the back – be sure to also include the date you deposited.

Scams and fraud are on the rise. Be cautious of suspicious texts and calls, even if they come from a trusted number.
