What do I do with the paper check after the deposit is submitted?

Once your check image has been credited to your account, you must retain the check for 60 days.  You may not present the original check or any image or substitute check created from the original check for payment at any other financial institution.  During this 60 day period, you must store the original paper check securely and you must make the original paper check available to us for review at any time and as necessary for us to facilitate the clearing and collection process, to address third party claims, or for our own auditing purposes. The check should be securely destroyed and/or voided after the 60-day time period.

Who can I contact with additional questions?

In the “More” tab of the app, there is a “non-secure message” option which will generate an email to the bank, as well as an option to call us.
