Mobile Check Deposit (MCD) Guidelines & Tips

  1. Deposit items from $5.00 to $5,000 to 5 items per day
  2. Deposits received through MCD are processed several times during the weekday. Deposit posting times are not guaranteed. Check images received by 4:30 PM weekdays should generally be deposited the same day, but could be delayed due to transmission and/or internet issues. Check your account balance through Online Banking to confirm that the deposit has posted to your account.
  3. Highmark’s Funds Availability Policy* also applies to Mobile Check Deposits. Check holds may be placed on your Mobile Check Deposits.
  4. Record the following information on the face of the check: Memo Line DEPOSITED mm/dd/yyyy
  5. All checks must be properly endorsed EXACTLY AS DIRECTED BELOW before sending for electronic deposit.
    A.  Sign your name
    B.  Write “Mobile Deposit Only” in one line immediately below your name, but at top of the check. 
 All parties must endorse the back of the check if their name is listed as payable on the front.


Other Tips:
- Take a photo of your check against a dark background 
- Make sure there are no other images in the photo
- Ensure the words MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY are legible. Possibly consider bolding the word MOBILE so it stands out. 
- Write the words FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT only once on the check. Extra words will render the image useless
- If you are using an Iphone to submit image and you get an error message, you may need to restart your phone to clear the cache, take a new photo and submit
-Business Name stamps are discouraged; hand writing business name on one line results in better success


Once you have endorsed your check and have it on Memo Line, take your photos and send your check for deposit.

It’s that simple! We recommend that you retain the deposited item until you reconcile your account, and then shred. The credit union retains a copy of all checks deposited.
