How long does it take for a mobile deposit check to clear credit union? ›

When you submit your check through a mobile deposit, you may be able to have access to some of the funds within a few minutes to the next day, depending on your bank or credit union. Some banks will allow a small amount of the money to be available before a check is cleared, usually around $200.

You can make deposits in a snap with your iPhone® or Android™ device. Due to a new banking regulation, all checks deposited via a mobile service must include: “For Mobile Deposit Only” handwritten below your signature in the endorsem*nt area on the back of the check or the deposit may be rejected.

Yes, there is a $5,000.00 daily limit and a $10,000.00 monthly limit for mobile deposits made through the 1^st Advantage Mobile App. The monthly limit amount is a on rolling 30-day cycle.

Mobile deposits can take varying amounts of time to clear, depending on several factors including each party's financial institution, account histories and account types. Funds are usually available shortly after deposit but may sometimes take several business days to clear.

It typically takes one business day for the funds to clear and become available for use. In some cases, it can take a few days for the bank to verify the check. The amount of the check can impact this timeline, as can the rules and processes each bank has surrounding mobile deposits.

Remote Deposit Capture is a service that allows you to deposit checks into your personal checking account without visiting a branch or ATM. This mobile deposit can be done anywhere with the use of your Smartphone. (Requires a minimum two mega-pixel camera with autofocus for your device.)

Once you've made your deposit, you'll get an email confirmation that we've received your deposit and are processing it.

Checks Must Be Endorsed

For a mobile check deposit to be processed, it has to be appropriately endorsed. If you're not following the rules—signing it and writing some version of “for mobile deposit only” on the back—then there's a chance the deposit could be rejected.

Take photos of the front and back of the check with your smartphone — just select the Front of Check and Back of Check buttons. Select the account to receive the deposit, enter the amount and tap Next. After confirming the details, tap Submit.

You'll be requested to provide a photo of the front of the check and then, after it's endorsed, a photo of the back of the check. It's essential that the digital images captured are crisp and legible, as any discrepancies can impede the verification process, consequently delaying the deposit.

PROVISIONAL CREDIT AND AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS

Because credit unions don't need to chase fees, so they are generally much faster at making funds available to their members. Bank of America takes in overdraft fees and OD protection fees from the fact they delay crediting of direct deposits. Why is it that certain checks deposit faster than others?
