Mobile Deposit Guidelines

There are a few things you should know before you remotely deposit your check. 

  • There is a daily limit of $1,500 in deposits.
  • There is a monthly limit of $5,000 in deposits.
  • You can deposit, up to, 5 captures in a day and 10 in one month
  • There will be a standard 3 business day hold on all checks deposited unless otherwise approved by UCU.

New Federal Regulations Regarding Endorsement of Remote Deposit Checks (Effective July 1st, 2018):

In order for your check to be accepted, it must be endorsed as follows:

  • Your name or your businesses name
  • The written words: "For Mobile Deposit Only"
    NOTE: Just checking the check box on the back indicating that it was deposited via mobile deposit is NOT enough!)
  • The credit unions name or acronym: "United Credit Union" or "UCU"
  • Your account number

WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ANY MOBILE DEPOSIT CHECKS UNLESS THE ABOVE ENDORSEMENT REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. THIS IS A NEW FEDERAL REGULATION, AND MUST BE FOLLOWED.

If you have any questions about our remote check deposit process, please feel free to contact us. You can email us at or call us at 1-877-581-8651. We look forward to serving YOU!

The check number, payee, endorsement, character (numeric) amount, legal (written) amount, and MICR line are all readable. If the check continues to be rejected, bring it to one of our ATMs or Financial Center’s for deposit.
