For most Mobile Check Deposits, funds will become available in your account after the file is processed by the Credit Union. Mobile Check Deposits are posted to member accounts twice per day. Funds could be deposited into your account the same day if your mobile check deposit is made prior to 3pm on a regular business day. If your mobile check deposit is made after 3pm, it will not be processed until after 8:30am the following business day. All checks are reviewed for accuracy and will not be processed on weekends or holidays. The back of the check must be signed and include the following statement: "For Mobile Deposit Only ServU FCU." All checks are subject to a hold at the discretion of the Credit Union. In this case, funds may show as deposited into your account, but the funds will not show as available. Members must qualify for this service.

Do I need to endorse my check?
Yes. Please sign the back of your check as normal and include the wording: "For Mobile Deposit Only ServU FCU." Check must be endorsed correctly to be processed. We are required by regulation to reject all checks that are not endorsed correctly.

Funds will appear in your account after your "deposit" has been approved. Items received by 3:00 PM (Eastern), during regular business days will be processed by the end of the same business day. Mobile check deposits made after 3pm will not be processed until the following business day. Checks will not be processed on holidays or weekends. If a hold is placed, funds may show as deposited into your account, but the funds will not show as available.

What are the limits?
There are per check deposit limits, daily dollar amount limits, and 30-day rolling dollar amount limits.

Additionally, your per deposit limit will display in the Amount box that is filled in before you submit the image of the check. The limit displayed applies to individual checks, not your daily or 30 day rolling dollar amount limits.

These items can be deposited at any ServU Credit Union branch.

While many of us have gotten used to the idea of using mobile or online banking to quickly check on our accounts, some “going to the branch” habits are hard to kick, including depositing checks.

With a mobile check deposit from Service Credit Union, you don’t have to worry about any of those things.
