In a world where you can order almost anything through your mobile phone — from a new pair of shoes to a dining room table to tickets to a Caribbean cruise — it only makes sense for our members to have access to Forrit Credit Union through mobile banking.

One of the most convenient features we offer through our mobile banking is check deposit. All it takes to deposit a check is a few minutes of your time and a phone with internet access.

Let’s take a closer look!

What is mobile check deposit?

Mobile check deposit is a way for you to deposit a check into your Forrit Credit Union account from a distant location using a mobile device with internet access. You can be practically anywhere in the world and make your deposit at any time.

The process is simple: You’ll log into your Forrit Credit Union mobile app and prepare your check for deposit. Tap on the Check Deposit icon and the app will guide you through snapping a picture of both the front and the back of the check. You’ll also be asked to verify the check amount. Once you’ve made the confirmation, your check will be submitted for deposit into your account.

It’s that easy.

The benefits of mobile check deposit

It’s not just another errand crossed off your list. Here are some of the benefits you’ll enjoy by using Forrit Credit Union mobile check deposit:

1. Convenience. You’re no longer bound by regular branch hours. As mentioned, you can now make your deposit anywhere, and at any time.
2. Speed. Your check will generally clear more quickly through a mobile deposit than it will through an ATM deposit.
3. Accuracy. There’s no room for errors when it comes to mobile check deposit. You’ll be asked to confirm the check amount in case the character-recognition software is not reading it correctly. On the small chance that an error occurs, you’ll still have the physical check, which you can then deposit at Forrit Credit Union.

But is it safe?

If you’re worried about sending a personal check through the airwaves, you can rest easy. Your safety is always our priority, and we take multiple precautions for ensuring your personal information is protected throughout the mobile check deposit process.

First, with Fingerprint ID & Face ID (not available on all devices), there is no need to worry about stolen passwords.

Second, our mobile app does not store your check images in your phone. Once your check has been submitted, the image is erased from your phone and stored only in our own software.

Finally, if an error occurs, you’ll always have the physical check to deposit if necessary.

If you haven’t already done so, try Forrit Credit Union mobile deposit. It’s quick. It’s easy. And it’s safe. You’ve got nothing to lose but one more errand crossed off your to-do list. Try it today!
