Can I deposit any check with Mobile Deposit?
You can only use Mobile Deposit for eligible domestic checks not drawn on your own account. Checks must be made payable to the owner of the account and must have the proper endorsement on the back. Checks will not be accepted if they are incomplete, post-dated or stale-dated, made payable to a third party, or stamped with a "non-negotiable" watermark. Be sure your check is legible and has no evidence of alteration or restrictive endorsement. Refer to above Disclosure and Agreement for a complete list of "Unacceptable Deposits".
Should I endorse the back of the check?
Yes. If you don't endorse the back of the check, your Mobile Deposit will be rejected. Your endorsement must include:
If the back of the check is not properly endorsed, we reserve the right to reject the check for deposit. See example endorsement below.
How will I know that a mobile deposit was accepted?
You will receive an immediate on-screen notification that the deposit was either accepted or held for review.
If my deposit was accepted, but is being reviewed, can I try to deposit it again?
No. Once the app has successfully accepted your check it is placed for review. Attempting to resubmit the check will only result in a delay and may cause additional issues, including your deposit being recognized as a duplicate. The application landing page for the Deposit Checks button will display a list of checks being held in review.
What should I do if my mobile deposit is rejected?
You may contact Member Services for assistance through our secure email portal at eglinfcu.org/contact or by calling 800.367.6159 or 850.862.0111 (option 4) during our regular business hours Monday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM CT.
When are Mobile Deposits reviewed by Eglin FCU staff?
Mobile Deposits are reviewed as soon as possible throughout each business day, Monday through Friday (except federal holidays), 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM CT. The exact timing depends on the volume of deposits in the queue. Checks deposited after the close of business, on weekends or holidays will be reviewed the next business day.
When will the funds be available to me?
Generally, the first $225 from the check deposited will be available immediately and any additional funds will not be available until the second business day after the day the deposit is accepted. You may login to Online Banking to view Account Holds on the Account Details page. Seven business day holds will be applied to checks received for deposit into accounts that are less than 30 days old. Funds you deposit may be delayed for a longer period of time if we have reasonable cause to believe the check may be uncollectable. We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds. EFCU, in its sole discretion, may modify funds availability for Mobile Deposit as it deems relevant.
I received an email stating that my deposit was posted and I see it in my account. Should I destroy the check now?
Although most check images clear the account on which the check is drawn without any problem, we ask that you retain the check in a safe place for 30 days after the deposit has posted. Be sure to mark it as an item you have already deposited so that it is not inadvertently re-deposited by you or someone else in your household.
What if I've made an error or need to speak with someone about my Mobile Deposit?
You may contact Member Services during regular business hours about your Mobile Deposit by contacting us via secure email or calling us at 800.367.6159 or 850.862.0111 (option 4).
