- Should I endorse the back of the check?
Yes. If you don't endorse the back of the check, your Mobile Deposit may be rejected. Your endorsement should include; “Mobile deposit at ACU" or "Mobile deposit at America's Credit Union", your signature(s), the account number to which you are making the deposit, and the date.
- Can I deposit any check with Mobile Deposit?
You should only use Mobile Deposit for domestic checks not drawn on your own account. Checks must be made payable to an owner of the share and must have an endorsement on the back. Checks may be rejected if they are incomplete, post-dated or stale-dated, made payable to a third party, or stamped with a “non-negotiable” watermark. Be sure your checks have no evidence of alteration or contain a restrictive endorsement. Savings Bonds are not eligible for Mobile Deposit.

- Can I review a copy of the Mobile Banking Service Disclosure & Agreement?
Sure! Here is the Mobile Deposit Agreement for your records.
- What if I’ve made an error or need to speak with someone about my mobile deposit?
You can contact us about any questions regarding your mobile deposit.
- I see that my deposit was posted and is in my account. Should I destroy the check now?
Although most check images clear the account on which the check is drawn without any problem, we ask that you retain the check in a safe place for sixty (60) days after the deposit has posted. Be sure to mark it as an item you have already deposited so that it is not inadvertently re-deposited by you or someone else in your household.
- How will I know when a deposit that was accepted to the review queue is posted to my account?
When the deposit is reviewed and released from the queue you will see the transaction on your account in home banking. Rarely, a deposit will be rejected after review. If your deposit is rejected from the review queue, you will receive an e-mail telling you the reason your deposit was rejected.
- If my deposit was accepted but is in the review queue, can I try to deposit it again?
No. A second attempt will, in most cases, add to the delay, could result in a fee in accordance with our Fee Schedule, and may result in a revocation of your Mobile Deposit access.
- What conditions cause a deposit to go to the review queue?
There is no single reason that a deposit will go to the review queue. Conditions include fields or characters on a check image that are difficult to read, a deposit that is outside your normal and historical pattern, a missing or illegible endorsement, or a check image that is a suspected duplicate of a previously deposited check.
- How long do deposits wait in the queue before they are reviewed and posted?
All deposits in the review queue are reviewed and posted as soon as possible provided that the deposit was made on a business day (Mon-Fri, except observed holidays). The exact timing depends on the volume of deposits in the queue. All deposits in the review queue made by 3:00 p.m. CT will be reviewed by the end of the business day on which they were submitted.
- I used the Forgot? link and received a locked message, what should I do?
For security reasons, your account will automatically unlock after 24 hours of no attempted sign-ins. Additional attempts to sign in will restart the 24-hour lock-out period.

Your credit card transactions will not display in the Activity or Transaction sections at this time. To view your Visa Credit Card transactions, you may navigate to the Accounts card and select the Credit Card.

- What do I do if I lose my mobile device?
Unless your username and password have been compromised, your account and account information are still secure. If you feel your sign in credentials have been compromised, you can reset your username and password through Online Banking or the Mobile App at any time. Contact the Credit Union if you would like to de-authenticate your device or to disable all Mobile App access for your account. You can also deactivate devices from the Security settings when signed in.
- What are the browser requirements for Online Banking?
To support the security measures we put in place to keep your data safe, we require the use of a modern browser. As new versions of browsers are released, our Online Banking platform will deprecate support for older versions. Below are the details for each supported browser.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer - Only version 11 will be supported. Any older version of Internet Explorer may be denied access to the platform.
- Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Edge will be supported at the latest version only. The Online Banking platform may deny access to older Microsoft Edge versions 60 days after a new version is released.
- Google Chrome - Chrome should automatically update and major updates are released approximately every 12 weeks. If Chrome is two versions older than the current stable channel version, our Online Banking platform may deny it access.
- Apple Safari - Each year Apple typically makes upgrades to Safari during the fall. Approximately 60 days after a new version is released, our Online Banking platform may deny access to older versions. However, this change requires that the new Safari version is available on both MacOS and iOS devices.
- Mozilla Firefox - Firefox should automatically update. If Firefox is two versions older than the current stable channel version, our Online Banking platform may deny it access.
- What is Authy?
Authy is a free app for your mobile device or desktop which generates secure tokens for 2-Step Verification.
- Do I need to receive a verification code every time I sign in to Online Banking?
While the 2-Step Verification code works the same for both the web browser and Mobile App, there are small differences in the way your access will be authenticated with subsequent sign-ins. With the web browser, you may choose to save a trusted device by checking the box next to "Don't ask for codes again on this computer" which bypasses the 2-Step Verification. The Mobile App will let you configure an app passcode and you may also choose to use the device’s biometric feature, such as a fingerprint, if available. If you try to sign in using an unrecognized device or browser, you will be required to go through the 2-Step Verification to access your account.
- How will my sign-in process change with 2-Step Verification?
2-Step Verification works similarly to your existing sign-in procedure but uses an additional step to verify that you are the authorized account user. When you sign in from a device or browser that isn’t recognized, you’ll be asked for a 2-Step Verification code that will be sent to you via a method that you choose during registration. The methods to receiving the code are through Authy, a free app on your device; an SMS text message to your mobile phone; or through a voice call to your landline or mobile phone.
- What is Two-Step Verification?
2-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication, or 2FA) is a stronger authentication to access your account. 2-Step Verification will change the way you access your accounts by using an additional step to verify that you are the authorized account user when you sign in from a new or unrecognized device or browser.
