Mobile Check Deposit: The Convenient Way to Bank Anywhere

Are you among the tens of millions of Americans who use Mobile Banking to easily and securely manage money on the go? One of the most exciting, convenient features of Mobile Banking is Mobile Check Deposit, which lets you use your smartphone to deposit money from anywhere.

We love seeing members at our branches, but we also know that sometimes your day is too packed to come see us – and sometimes you’d just rather not leave the couch. If you’re new to Mobile Deposit (or new to it at BluPeak Credit Union) here are some answers to common questions about Mobile Check Deposit and some tips to make your next deposit go smoothly, so you can get back to living your life.

What is mobile check deposit?

Mobile check deposit is a feature offered by most credit unions that allows you to deposit a check using your smartphone or tablet.

Benefits of credit union mobile check deposit?

With credit union mobile check deposits, you’re able to deposit checks anytime, anywhere, without needing to visit a branch or ATM, and without waiting to make a deposit during branch business hours. It’s incredibly convenient for members who live far from a branch or who have incredibly busy schedules! Processing times for credit union mobile check deposits are quick, allowing you to have faster access to funds as well!

What do I need to make a mobile check deposit?

If you have a check to deposit and a smartphone with secure internet access, you have everything you need to make a mobile deposit! If you haven’t already done so, download the BluPeak Credit Union app from the App Store^® or Google Play^TM and log into or enroll in Digital Banking.

Before you deposit your check, be sure to sign the back and write “For Mobile Deposit only at BluPeak Credit Union” under your signature. This helps prevent fraud – and it will help you remember that you already deposited the check.

How do I make a credit union mobile check deposit?

Making a mobile deposit takes just a few seconds. All you have to do is:

1. Log in to your BluPeak Credit Union Mobile Banking app and tap “Check Deposit”
2. Enter your check amount and select the correct BluPeak Credit Union account
3. Take a photo of the front and back of your signed check
4. Confirm details and click “Deposit”

That’s all there is to it!

Is mobile check deposit secure?

Yes. At BluPeak Credit Union we build the same level of protection into Digital Banking as we do into the rest of our banking services. You can feel confident that your accounts, and your money, are safe with us.

Still, you can never be too careful. Many of the same things you do to keep other kinds of personal information safe online are also best practices when it comes to banking from your phone. For example:

• Keep your info private. Don’t share your Mobile Banking username or password with anyone. Scammers often make calls and send out emails and texts posing as financial institutions and asking people for their bank account information. But financial institutions like BluPeak Credit Union will never contact you unsolicited to request sensitive financial information.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi. Public Wi-Fi can be convenient, but it can also be vulnerable to hackers. Wait to use your Mobile Banking app until you get to a location with secure, password-protected internet access.
• Update your app. When an update becomes available, download it right away to keep your security features up to date.
• Use technology to your advantage. If your phone has security features like fingerprint ID or facial recognition technology, use them to add an extra layer of security.
• Log out. When you’re done using the Mobile Banking app, log out of it.

Mobile Check Deposit FAQ

How do I take a good photo of my check?

You don’t need to be a professional photographer to deposit a check, but it helps to keep these tips in mind:

• Find good lighting. If it’s too dark, your check won’t photograph well and the app may have trouble reading it.
• Place your check on a dark surface. The contrast between a light-colored check and a dark surface will make your check easier to read.
• Position your phone correctly. Hold your phone directly over your check, instead of at an angle, to make the check easier to read.
