Prepare your check

• Flatten folded or crumpled checks before taking your photos.
• Ensure the MICR line (numbers on the bottom of your check) is readable.
• Make sure the check has not been deposited previously.

Taking the photo

• Keep the check within the view finder on the camera screen when capturing your photos.
• Take the photos of your check in a well-lit area (shadows can cause distortion).
• Place the check on solid dark background before taking the photo of it.
• Keep your phone flat and steady above the check when taking your photos.
• Hold the camera as square to the check as possible to reduce corner to corner skew.
• Try not to get too much of the areas surrounding the check, but get all four corners
• Try not to get shadows across the check
• Make sure that the entire check image is visible and in focus before submitting your deposit.

Data Entry

• Sign/Endorse the back of your check, and label it based on the prompt.
• Make sure to endorse the check with your signature and the phrase “For SBB Mobile Deposit
  Only” or “For State Bank of Bern Mobile Deposit Only”
  – It is beneficial, to prevent fraud, to include either the current date or the check number in the endorsement on the back.
• When prompted for the amount, carefully enter the check amount to ensure it matches the amount written on your check.

REMINDERS

• Mobile Deposit Capture is a privilege and can be revoked at any time, for any reason, by the
  Bank.
• Mobile Deposit limits are $1,000 per item, $2,000 per day.
  – This is to ensure our procedures are adequate and is likely to increase in the future.
  – Contact your branch location if you need a one-time increase in the limit.
• Certain types of checks will not work with Mobile Deposit (including, but not limited to, Foreign
  checks, money orders, and US Savings Bonds).
• Retain the check until you are certain it has been deposited AND accepted by the Bank (general
  recommendation is 45-60 days).
