How to get started

How to get started? Just use your CRCU Online Banking username and password to log into your CRCU Mobile Banking app. From there, you simply:
 
  • Choose mobile deposit and select the account for the deposit.
  • Endorse your check and write “For Mobile Deposit Only” below your signature.
  • Place your check on a dark, non-reflective surface to snap a picture of the front and back of your check
  • Verify and submit your deposit.

That’s it! When you’re done, we’ll send you a quick email to let you know we’re taking care of the rest. You’ll want to retain the check for 30 days – and then shred it.

Tips for a Successful Mobile Deposit

  1. Ensure your check is properly filled out and is legible.  Endorse your check before taking the photos.
  2. When taking a picture of the check, place the check on a dark, non-reflective surface and flatten out the check.
  3. Make sure the entire check is displayed in the camera box; position your mobile device's camera directly over the check to capture a clear image.
  4. Important: Ensure you take a picture of the entire check, both the front and the back. Partial check images will automatically be rejected by the system.
  5. Preview the photo. If it is blurry or not legible, retake the photo.
  6. Retain the check for 30 days.  At that time you may destroy it; shredding is a secure way to dispose of a check.
