If you meet these criteria, you may begin using Mobile Deposit by accepting the Mobile Deposit Service Agreement the first time you access Mobile Deposit on your smartphone or tablet.

Are there any limits on the dollar amount of deposits I can submit?

Yes. The maximum total dollar amount deposited per business day cannot exceed $2,500.00. No single check can exceed $2,000.00. There is no limit to the number of checks deposited in one business day; however, you cannot exceed the maximum daily limit of $2,500.00 per business day. If you reach the daily deposit limit or the check you present for deposit is larger than $2,000.00, the transaction will be declined. These limits can be adjusted on a per-user basis, so if you feel you need a higher limit, please contact one of our customer service representatives to discuss your needs.

What types of checks can I deposit?

Personal, business and government checks payable in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank and payable to you can be deposited. Checks that cannot be deposited using Mobile Deposit include:

  • Money orders
  • Charge card convenience checks
  • U.S. savings bonds
  • Checks that are payable to another person other than the deposit account owner (e.g. third-party checks)
  • Foreign checks and those payable in a foreign currency
  • Altered checks
  • Checks more than six (6) months old
  • Checks that were previously deposited
  • Checks in excess of $1,000.00

How do I endorse my checks for Mobile Deposit?

Simply sign your check as you would if you were presenting it to one of our customer service representatives, except write 'For mobile deposit only' under your signature/endorsement, along with your account number and 'American Bank'. For your protection and verification purposes, you should write “Electronically Deposited xx/xx/xxxx” (date of deposit) on the front of the check and retain the check for 14 days. After that time, write “Void” on the check and destroy it by running the check through a shredder.

How will I know the status of my deposit?

You can check the status of your deposit by tapping “Deposit Check History” in Mobile Deposit. The system will indicate whether the deposit has been accepted, rejected or is pending.

When will my deposits be available?

Deposits made before 5 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST) are considered deposited on that business day. Deposits made after 5 p.m. CST are considered received on the next business day. Funds from mobile deposits are available for your use in accordance with our Funds Availability Policy. If a hold is placed on a deposit made through the Mobile Deposit system, you will be notified of the delay in availability of your funds.

Can I deposit more than one check at a time?

You can deposit multiple checks in the same Mobile Deposit session; however, you may only photograph and submit one check at a time.

How can I ensure that the check images I take will be high quality?

To ensure a high-quality check image, your smartphone or tablet must have a built-in camera that’s at least 2-megapixels. When capturing the image, please:

  • Place check on flat, dark-colored surface in a well-lit area.
  • Position device’s camera over check to minimize angles, glare and shadows.
  • Align the check with the four corners of the guide image, not the corners of your screen.
  • Avoid objects and clutter around the check.
  • Hold the device steady.

What if the check image I photographed is bad?

You have the option to retake photographs of the check before submitting, or you may cancel the deposit. Also, the system will notify you if the image is unclear for processing. If you are unable to photograph a clear image, please bring your deposit to one of our branches for processing.

Are check images saved on my device?

Check images are never saved on your smartphone or tablet. The images are securely transmitted and digitally stored at the bank in accordance with the Check 21 Act, which allows financial institutions to process checks electronically.

What if I submit the same deposit twice in error?

If the same check is submitted for deposit twice, it will be identified and stopped by the Mobile Deposit system. Should this occur, you will receive a declined deposit notification for the second deposit of the check.

Can I make payments with Mobile Deposit?

You can’t use Mobile Deposit to make payments to your loans. However, if you’d like to make these payments electronically, you can use the convenient Transfer or Bill Pay features of Mobile Banking.

If I need additional information on Mobile Deposit, who may I call?

For additional assistance, please contact Electronic Services Manager, Rebecca Anderson, or one of our customer service representatives at any of our locations or call 920-885-2700 or 1-888-987-2265.
