When can I begin using Remote Deposit?
Remote Deposit is available as soon as your account has been successfully opened and is in active status. Once your account is established, simply log in to the Union Savings Bank mobile app and enroll in the Remote Deposit feature, if prompted.
Please note that eligibility requirements, deposit limits, and endorsement instructions apply. Your account must be in good standing to use Remote Deposit, and all deposits are subject to verification and our Funds Availability Policy.
What is the cut off time for deposits?
The daily cut-off time for mobile deposits is 4:00 PM (Eastern time) on business days. Deposits submitted before 4:00 PM will generally be processed the same business day.
Deposits made after 4:00 PM, on weekends (Saturday or Sunday), or on Federal holidays will be processed on the next business day.
Please note that processing does not guarantee immediate availability of funds. Funds availability may vary in accordance with our Funds Availability Policy.
What is my daily limit for deposits through Mobile Banking?
For both Personal and Business accounts, the daily Mobile Deposit limit is $5,000 per account per calendar day.
The daily limit is the maximum total dollar amount you can deposit using Mobile Check Deposit in a single day. If you need to deposit more than $5,000, you may visit one of our branch locations or contact us for assistance.
If you have questions about your specific account limits, please contact Customer Service or visit your nearest branch.
How should I endorse the back of my check?
To successfully deposit your check using Mobile Deposit, please endorse the back of the check by signing your name exactly as it appears on the front of the check. Below your signature, write “For Mobile Deposit Only” (or use the specific mobile deposit endorsement wording required by Union Savings Bank, if applicable).
Some checks include a checkbox indicating “Mobile Deposit” — if present, please check that box as well.
Proper endorsement helps ensure your deposit is processed quickly and reduces the risk of delays or rejection. We also recommend securely storing the check for at least 30 days after deposit and then destroying it once you have confirmed the funds have been credited to your account.
Are the check photos taken of my deposit stored anywhere on my device?
No. The images of your check are not stored within the Mobile Banking app. Once the photos are securely transmitted to our Mobile Banking system for processing, they are permanently deleted by the app. For your security and privacy, the app does not retain copies of deposited check images on your device.
What should I do with my check after I submitted through Mobile Deposit?
After successfully submitting your check through Mobile Deposit, we recommend writing “Mobile Deposit” and the date of deposit on the front of the check.
Please retain the check in a secure location until you have confirmed that the deposit has been credited to your account. Once you have verified the funds have been posted, you may securely destroy the check (for example, by shredding it).
If the deposit is rejected for any reason, you will need to redeposit the check or visit one of our branch locations for assistance.
When will I see the deposit posted to my account?
If you submit your mobile deposit before 4:00 PM (local time) on a business day, the funds are typically available immediately in your account.
Deposits made after 4:00 PM, or on weekends or holidays, will be processed on the next business day.
Please note:
In certain situations, a hold may be placed on a deposit. This most commonly applies to new accounts, but we may occasionally place a hold on an existing account deposit as well. If a hold is applied, you will be notified within the mobile banking app with details about when the funds will be available.
If you have questions about a specific deposit, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Can I use Mobile Deposit to fund a new account?
No. Mobile Deposit is available for existing, open accounts and cannot be used to fund a newly opened account. To fund a new account, please visit one of our branch locations, transfer funds from an existing Union Savings Bank account, or use another approved funding method provided during the account opening process. If you have questions about funding options, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Does Union notify me when my deposit is processed?
Yes. You will receive an email notification when your Mobile Deposit has been successfully received. Once the deposit has been reviewed, you will receive a second email informing you whether the deposit has been approved or declined.
Please note that processing times may vary. If your deposit is declined, the notification will include additional details so you can take appropriate action.
What type of checks can I submit with Mobile Deposit?
You can deposit most personal, business, and government-issued checks using Mobile Deposit, provided they meet the following requirements:
-
The check must be in its original paper form (not a photocopy or digital copy).
-
It must be made payable directly to you (and properly endorsed).
-
It must be payable in U.S. dollars.
-
It must be drawn on a U.S. financial institution.
-
The check must be dated and signed.
Please note that certain items are not eligible for Mobile Deposit, including altered checks, third-party checks, foreign checks, savings bonds, money orders, traveler’s checks, and any items that appear fraudulent or suspicious.
All checks are subject to review and approval. Deposit limits and other restrictions may apply.
If you’re unsure whether a check qualifies, please contact us before submitting your deposit.
I'm having trouble getting my check images to be accepted. What can I do?
If your mobile deposit is being rejected, a few simple adjustments can often resolve the issue:
-
Use a dark, solid background so the check clearly stands out.
-
Make sure all four corners of the check are visible within the frame.
-
Ensure the image is clear and in focus by holding your phone steady and avoiding shadows.
-
Take the photo in a well-lit area with even lighting (natural light works best).
-
Verify the check is properly endorsed, including your signature and “For Mobile Deposit Only” if required.
-
Confirm the check is eligible for mobile deposit (not expired, not previously deposited, and payable to you).
After capturing the image, review it before submitting to make sure all information is legible, including the amount and account details.
If you continue to experience issues, please visit your nearest Union Savings Bank branch, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
