A reversal means the amount of the item(s) deposited will be removed from your account and will reduce your account balance. The reversal may also result in a negative balance on your account and you may incur fees.
Endorsements and Check Requirements
Any image of a check that you transmit to us must accurately and legibly provide all of the information on the front and back of the check at the time of presentment to you by the drawer. Prior to capturing the original check image, you will restrictively endorse any item submitted through the MBD service as: "For Mobile Deposit Only” or as otherwise instructed by JSFCU
You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the MBD service as JSFCU may establish from time to time. The captured image of the check submitted to us using MBD must accurately and legibly provide, among other things, the following information:
- Your endorsement
- The information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the check, including complete and accurate MICR information and the signatures
- Other information placed on the check prior to the time an image of the check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check.
The image quality of the check must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute ("ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, including the requirements under federal Regulation CC, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. The MBD service may reject your deposit if the image is not satisfactory. Receipt of the image does not guarantee we can accept the image.
Receipt of Items
We reserve the right to reject any item submitted through MBD, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from us that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the submission was error free, complete or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account. We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time; any item that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item. You agree that JSFCU is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.
Rejection of Deposit
You agree that we are not liable for any loss, costs or fees levied against you due to our rejection of any item. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your account(s) due to an item being returned.
Returned Items
A notice will be provided to you of transactions we are unable to process because of returned items. With respect to any item that you transmit to us for remote deposit that we credit to your account, in the event such item is dishonored, you authorize us to debit the amount of such item from your account, including any applicable fees. Please refer to our current Fee Schedule for applicable fees.
Availability of Funds
You agree that items submitted using the MBD service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. In general, if an image of an item you submit using MBD is received and accepted before 3:00pm Eastern Time on a business day that we are open normal hours, Mondays through Fridays except federal holidays, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Please be aware early closure may affect the aforementioned cut off time. In addition, checks submitted during emergency conditions, such as natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, communication malfunctions, and/or other situations beyond the control of the credit union may be held until conditions permit to provide availability of funds.
Funds deposited using MBD will generally be made available as follows:
- $225.00 from a deposit will be available by the first business day after the day of your deposit.
- The remaining funds will be available by the second business day after the day of your deposit.
For example, if you deposit a check of $700.00 on a Monday, $225.00 of the deposit will be available by Tuesday. The remaining $475.00 will be available by Wednesday. $225 next business day.
Longer holds may apply for accounts opened less than 30 calendar days. Please review our Funds Availability PolicyOpens in New Window for complete details.
Retention and Disposal of Transmitted Items
Upon your receipt of a confirmation from JSFCU that we have received the image of an item, you agree to immediately mark "Deposited” on the front of the check and retain it for at least 30 calendar days from the date of the image submission. After 30 days, you agree to destroy the check that you submitted as an image, mark it "VOID” on both sides, or otherwise render it incapable of further submission, deposit, or presentment. You agree to never re-present the check for deposit. You will promptly provide any retained check, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, to JSFCU as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any check, or for our audit purposes. If you are unable to provide a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check you will be liable for any unresolved claims by third parties.
