Here’s where people get tripped up. Don’t just scribble your name. Below your signature, you need to write “For Mobile Deposit Only” or the exact phrase your app tells you. Think of it as a digital “do not duplicate” warning for the paper.
Skipping this step is like leaving your front door unlocked—the check could be stolen and cashed elsewhere. Protect yourself with those six little words. It takes two seconds and saves a headache.
Firing Up the App
Open the app and log in. Your face or fingerprint gets you in faster than a key. Look for the “Deposit” icon—it usually looks like a tiny check with a little camera arrow.
Tap it. Select the account you want the money to land in (checking, savings, or your secret “treat yourself” fund). The app will ask for the check amount. Type it in carefully—one wrong digit and you’re either a hero or a villain to your budget.
