FAQs
What are some of the benefits of mobile check deposit?
Convenience
Being able to deposit a check using your mobile phone is incredibly convenient. You can deposit checks anywhere and at any time, so long as you have access to your phone and an internet connection. This increases the flexibility of where and when you get work done, all while reducing the need for additional trips to the bank.
Avoid Waiting in Line
In addition to being more flexible, depositing a check using your mobile phone is much faster than going to the bank. It can be as simple as snapping a photo of your review and uploading it via the app. This process doesn't require you to wait long periods or go through extensive security protocols to access your bank account. This makes it much more suitable for busy individuals who don't have much free time to wait around at the bank.
Security
Security will always be a central concern when it comes to mobile banking, and Arsenal Credit Union has you covered! We use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect your account information and prevent unauthorized users from accessing it.

Do I endorse checks normally?
You will endorse your checks with a signature. In addition, on the back of your check, you will have to write FOR E-DEPOSIT ONLY AT ACU.
How much can I deposit with mobile check deposit?
The amount a user can deposit is based on tiers. Members enter a new tier based on successful transactions. Tier one starts at a $1,500 single-day deposit, while tier three starts at $10,000. Ask us for more information.
Can I give others access to mobile banking so they can deposit checks on my behalf?
No. Some fraudulent loan companies will claim that they need your username/password to access Mobile Check Deposit to place funds in your account using a bogus check. When Arsenal receives these “checks,” we reject the deposits because they look suspicious. We also have to close your compromised account and have you come in to open a new one for safety reasons.
