Mobile Deposit

Mobile deposit allows members to deposit a cheque without having to go in-branch or at the ATM. Simply take a picture of the front and back of your cheque.

It’s easy, quick and free!

What you need to know

Most cheques are eligible for mobile deposits.
The cheque must be in Canadian currency and must be from a Canadian financial institution.
Mobile deposits can be made to personal chequing accounts or non-registered regular savings accounts.
When making a mobile deposit, you must keep your cheque for 90 days and destroy it within 120 days. Once the deposit is confirmed, write “Deposited” across the front of the cheque as a reminder that it’s been done. Put the cheque in a secure location in case the original is required for any reason.
Rules applicable to cheque hold periods are the same as those for cheques deposited in-branch⁽⁵⁾.
There are no deposit limits, therefore funds could be frozen for 5 days, depending on the authorization set in the member’s file.
This feature is free.
