When will my funds be available when using Mobile Deposit?

What are the steps to complete a deposit via Mobile Deposit?
- Login to the TCU Mobile App

Please note the check deposited can be written by yourself to yourself. The deposited check can be written by someone else to you. Checks must be endorsed with “For Mobile Deposit Only to Travis CU.” To view checks that were previously deposited through Mobile Deposit, click the “View Deposit/ Payment History.”
What are some tips for taking Mobile Deposit photos?
- Hold the camera parallel to the check and match the check inside the guidelines on the phone
- We recommend that a flash is not used as this may wash the quality of the image
- The background must be a consistent color without any patterns (marble tabletops or wood grain tabletops have been known to cause problems)
- If your table surface is not a solid contrasting color, place a sheet of paper behind the check. Be sure the paper’s color contrasts with the check’s color
- If taken against a light background the optics may have trouble reading the edges of the item and may not crop properly
- Ensure the lighting is optimal without any shadowing
- The check should lay as flat as possible with no folds, which could warp the image
- You can place a small pencil or pen dot in each corner of the check to help the OCR align with the check properly
