• Log in to your Mobile Banking app.
• Select Deposit Check in the Mobile Banking app menu.
• Select the account where you want to deposit the check and input the amount of your check.
• Sign the check and write “For Mobile Deposit Only at AllSouth” on the back, then take a picture of the front and back of the check.
• Select Submit Deposit

Before taking a picture of the check, sign the back of the check and write “For Mobile Deposit Only at AllSouth” below your signature. If available on the check, check the box that reads: “Check here if mobile deposit” instead of writing it.

• Hold your camera parallel to the check and ensure the check shows inside the guidelines of your phone.
• Don’t use a flash when you snap your picture as it can distort the quality of the image.
• Take the picture in a well-lit environment against a dark background.
• Lay your check flat and smooth out any folds.

Once the check image is submitted, you’ll receive an email confirming your deposit was received and is processing.

Your funds are typically available within two (2) business days after the deposit has been made, if there are no delays or issues with the check. Once the funds are available, they will show in your account’s Available Balance.

You will receive an email notification of the rejected deposit or notice of any deposits we’re unable to process.

Your Mobile Deposit may be rejected if:

• The check is missing “For Mobile Deposit Only at AllSouth” endorsed on the back of the check.
• The deposit exceeds the daily deposit limit.
• The check was returned unpaid by the financial institution the check is drawn on.

Keep the check in a secure location for at least five (5) days, but no longer than 14 days, to ensure there were no mishaps during the check processing. After that time, simply shred the check.
