Fast and simple deposits — no ATM required

Then, take a picture of the front and back of the endorsed check with your smartphone or tablet.

The answer is yes. Most banks accept emailed checks.

With Chase QuickDeposit Scanner, our remote deposit solution, you can scan your paper checks and send the scanned images to Chase for deposit into your checking account.

Verifying if a check is legitimate or a counterfeit takes time. Once a check photograph has been submitted through mobile deposit, the bank or credit union will have employees who are trained to spot counterfeit checks examine it. There are many data points that are considered when verifying a check.

The top instant check cashing apps without verification include Ingo Money, Brink's Money, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Chime, and Flare Account. These apps allow you to quickly cash checks by taking photos with your phone for deposit into bank accounts or prepaid cards.

Tap Take Photo next to "Front." This will open your phone's camera so you can take a photo to scan the check. Use the grids on your screen to line up the photo of your check and Cash App will automatically take a picture of the check when it is clear and acceptable. (Make sure to use a dark background).

Even if a thief were able to grab your information in transit from your phone to the bank, the information is encrypted. The image of your check also isn't stored on your phone, so you don't have to worry about accidentally sending it to someone else later.

Check 21 provides that images of checks are legally the same as paper checks, allowing banks to electronically transfer check images instead of physically transferring paper checks.

They were made legal in 2003 by the Check 21 Act, and they are now commonly used for check-clearing purposes. Banks can use photos or photocopies of an original check in order to make a substitute. However, these replicas must be made by the bank itself in order to be valid.

Can you print and deposit an emailed check? ›

eChecks are regular checks that you can send and receive in just seconds using email. There's no additional software or technology required, and anyone with an email address can receive an eCheck. They can be printed and deposited like a paper check, or the recipient can choose to utilize deposit services.

Due to a new banking regulation, all checks deposited via a mobile service must include: “For Mobile Deposit Only” handwritten below your signature in the endorsem*nt area on the back of the check or the deposit may be rejected.

Reasons that deposit items may be declined include ineligible or non-negotiable checks, missing signature or missing endorsem*nt, a stale or post-dated check, poor image quality, daily or monthly deposit dollar amount exceeded, or an unacceptable item.

Try remote deposit from your bank's mobile app.

A remote check deposit gives an individual or business the ability to deposit a check without ever giving a physical check to the bank. If you have personal mobile banking, you've probably done this before.

Consequently, you can download an app, request eCheck collection, snap the eCheck using your phone, and deposit it into your electronic payment application account. Lastly, you can use a walk-up ATM that uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology.

Tap Cash a check. Enter the check amount. Take a photo of the front and back of the check. Review and confirm the check details.
