Educational Tips on Using Mobile Check Deposit

• Before logging into the Mobile Deposit app, close all other apps running in the background on your mobile phone.
• Sign/Endorse the back of your check, and label it “For Mobile Deposit Only at PB.”
• When prompted for the amount, carefully enter the check amount to ensure it matches the amount written on your check.
• Flatten folded or crumpled checks before taking your photos.
• Keep the check within the view finder on the camera screen when capturing your photos. Try not to get too much of the areas surrounding the check.
• Take the photos of your check in a well-lit area.
• Place the check on solid dark background before taking the photo of it.
• Keep your phone flat and steady above the check when taking your photos.
• Hold the camera as square to the check as possible to reduce corner to corner skew.
• Make sure that the entire check image is visible and in focus before submitting your deposit.
• No shadows across the check.
• All four corners are visible.
• Check is not blurry.
• The MICR line (numbers on the bottom of your check) is readable.
