Over the last year, much of our lives have changed thanks to the global pandemic. One thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to helping you streamline your banking. LUSO Federal Credit Union proudly offers the technology you need to keep track of your finances and manage your account(s) online.
With strict social distancing guidelines in place, many people still wish to avoid public buildings, but still need to make deposits into their accounts. Thankfully, our members can deposit checks—any time, from anywhere—using the Remote Deposit Capture feature of our mobile app. It’s as easy as Snap, Tap, Deposit!
Tips for a Flawless Remote Deposit
- Take check pictures in a well-lit area for best imaging - a flat surface is best
- Keep hands and fingers away from the camera lens
- Make sure the check amount you enter matches the amount on the check
- The maximum check amount for consumers is $2,500; the maximum check amount for commercial is $5,000.
- Keep checks from getting creased or torn - deposit errors can result when checks are unreadable
- Include Restrictive Endorsement ("For Remote Deposit Only at LUSO Federal Credit Union); improperly endorsed checks may be rejected
- Save the check until you confirm the deposit by checking your mobile account balance. We recommend keeping the check for 30 days, just in case
