Business days are defined as Mondays through Fridays with the exception of federal holidays.  

FUNDS AVAILABILITY 

Any credit to your account for checks deposited through this Service is provisional. If a check deposited through this Service is dishonored, rejected, or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the image, you agree that an original check will not be returned to you, but that the Credit Union may charge back the amount of the original check and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check, or a substitute check. You will reimburse the Credit Union for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned check. Without the Credit Union’s approval, you will not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you. 

The Credit Union may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely. 

The Credit Union’s policy is to make the first $200 in funds from an image of an item you submit through this Service available to you on the first (1st) business day after the day we receive your deposit. The remainder of your funds will be available on the second (2nd) business day after we receive your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the second (2nd) business day, we will notify you after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. 

ELIGIBLE ITEMS 

You agree to image and deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC, Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks (“Regulation CC”) (i.e. drafts drawn on a credit union, savings and loan or bank and payable on demand). When the image of the check transmitted to the Credit Union is converted to an “image replacement document” for subsequent presentment and collection, it will thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. 

REQUIREMENTS OF CHECKS TRANSMITTED

Prior to scanning the check, you must add our required endorsement of “For Mobile Deposit Only”, your signature endorsement, deposit date, and your Credit Union account number to the back of the check. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of this Service as the Credit Union may establish from time to time. 

• You must provide the Credit Union a complete, legible and accurate image of the front of the check showing the name of the drawer/payor and signature(s), the paying bank's pre-printed information, MICR encoded information, the name of the payee and the payment amount information.

DEPOSIT LIMITATIONS

All deposits are subject to later verification by us. We may return or refuse to accept all or any part of a deposit to your Account using this Service at any time and will not be liable for doing so even if such action causes checks or other debits to your Account to be dishonored and returned. The current individual item dollar limit is $1,500.00 and the current daily dollar aggregate item limit is $1,500.00. There is no daily or monthly statement cycle limit on the number of items, as long as the respective dollar limits are not exceeded.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF ITEMS

You agree to retain each item for a period of 60 days and agree to secure each item until such proper disposal is performed. You agree to promptly provide any retained item to us as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process or to resolve claims with respect to any item. 

COOPERATION WITH INVESTIGATIONS  

You agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of unusual transactions, poor quality transmissions, and resolution of customer claims, including by providing, upon request and without further cost, any originals or copies of items deposited through this Service in your possession and your records relating to such items and transmissions.
