You just received a check, but you’re not sure when you’ll be able to stop by the credit union to deposit it. Instead of waiting (and waiting) to put that money in your account, you could use mobile check deposit and deposit that check right now.
What is mobile check deposit?
Mobile check deposit allows you to use your smartphone to deposit your checks through the mobile app. It’s a quick and easy process that enables you to deposit a check at home, at work or on the go. No more waiting until you have time to make it
to the branch to put funds in your account.

You will need to be enrolled in online banking and have the mobile app on your mobile device. Besides the check you want to deposit, all you’ll need is your mobile device and the camera on it to take a picture of the check. Plus, there are no fees
associated with mobile check deposit.
