Check Capture Best Practices
-
Hold the camera Parallel to the item. Match check inside the guidelines on the phone. All four corners of the check must be visible
-
We recommend that a flash is not used as the glare may diminish the quality of the image.
-
Take the picture in a well-lit environment against a dark background consistent while avoiding textures such as wood grain, granite, or carpet. (No shadows)
-
If taken against a light background the optics may have trouble reading the edges of the item and therefore may not crop properly.
-
The check should lay as flat as possible in order to not warp the image. (no folds)
Once confirmed, the transaction will appear in your account within 1-2 business days. How soon the funds will be available for use depends on the size of the check and how long your account has been open, but it ranges from 1-5 business days.
