FAQs

How are checks deposited through the mobile app protected from fraud?

Navy Federal’s Mobile Deposits service is offered through our Mobile Banking* app, which requires you to provide a unique username and password each time you sign in. Each item to deposit must be endorsed with the signature of the payee and “For Mobile Deposit Only at NFCU.” By doing so, checks deposited through Mobile Deposit cannot be deposited again at a Navy Federal branch or another financial institution. The Mobile Deposits approval process also includes a review of each deposited item and automatically detects duplicate deposits within 24 hours of submission.

When will deposited funds be available in my account?

If Navy Federal approves the deposit and sends you a Deposit Approval Notification email:

For example, if you deposit a $2,500 check through Mobile Deposits on Monday and receive deposit approval before 6 pm, ET on Monday, $225 of the deposit will be available that day. The remaining $2,275 will be available on Wednesday (2 business days after the approval).

What are the deposit and transaction limits?

All accounts have a $50,000 aggregate limit per business day. Transactions are not limited for business accounts, however personal accounts have a daily transaction limit of 10 check deposits.

Mobile Deposits keeps a history of your mobile deposits and check images for up to 2 years. To view your deposits, select the “Deposit History” button within the Deposits tab.

How long should I retain my original check? What happens if I discard the check and an issue arises?

For your protection, retain the original check for at least 5 days AFTER receiving confirmation that it has been accepted. When you’re ready to discard it, mark it “VOID” and dispose of it in a way that prevents it from being presented for payment again. If an issue should arise and the original check is no longer available, please contact the issuer of the check to obtain a new copy that can be resubmitted for deposit.
