Mobile Check Deposit Frequently Asked Questions
What is mobile check deposit?
Mobile check deposit allows you to deposit your checks remotely, using the TDECU Digital Banking app. With the app, you can take a picture of the front and the back of an endorsed check and deposit it directly into your TDECU account.
Do I need the TDECU Digital Banking app to use mobile check deposit?
Yes. You must download the TDECU Digital Banking app to your mobile device. Once downloaded, you can use mobile check deposit on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.
Why do I have to enroll to use the mobile check deposit service?
While we would love to approve everyone for the service, you must meet several requirements to use mobile check deposit. These requirements include length of Membership, deposit account balances, loan payment history, non-sufficient funds history, and the type of account(s) you have with TDECU.
If you have specific questions about these requirements, please send us a secure message through the digital banking app or call us at (800) 839‑1154.
Will my funds be available immediately after I complete my mobile check deposit?
No. Mobile check deposits are generally made available within 24-48 business hours (this excludes weekends and federal holidays) from the day they are approved. If your mobile check deposit is approved before 6:30 p.m. CST on a business day we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. If not, the date of your deposit will be considered the next business day we are open.
We may make funds available sooner based on your relationship with TDECU and transaction information. Please review our terms and conditions for more information.
What do I need to include on the back of my check before taking a photo?
Before you take a picture of your check, make sure to complete the following: (1) sign the back of the check, (2) check the mobile deposit box located under the signature line, and (3) write “For TDECU Mobile Deposit Only” below your signature.
Why do I have to include “For TDECU Mobile Deposit Only” on the back of my check?
We require this information as it provides an additional layer of security to protect you from potential acts of fraud. It also ensures that checks deposited through the services are not accidentally deposited again.
Please note that checks that do not include this required endorsement will be subject to rejection.
How will I know if my mobile check deposit was submitted successfully?
The TDECU Digital Banking app should display a confirmation message after submitting your mobile check deposit. In addition, you will receive updates via email informing you whether the deposit was accepted.
