What are some tips for taking a good photo of my check?

  • Before taking the picture of the check, review the check to ensure all check information is clearly visible on the check in dark ink: Amount, Payee, Signature of the check drawer, Date, Check number, MICR line, routing and transit numbers.
  • Sign the back of the check and write “For Mobile Deposit at Credit Union ONE” under the signature in the endorsement area. Checks deposited through Mobile Deposit will be rejected if it is not endorsed.

Ratings and reviews

Someone must have read my review below, because they fixed it! Thanks!!! The app is great but there was 1 day that I could get to my credit card info by just clicking the credit card from the home page. Now if I do it, it says I have to go through the menu, click on Payments then click on the credit card. It's not that big of a deal but it would be easier if I could just click on 1 thing from the home page.

Very nice to have. You can keep account of your spending when you login. Real-time on purchases, everything. I love it.

Doesn't let me deposit my checks when I'm doing everything correct. I never had this problem before and it's starting to happen more often. I gotta take the same picture 50 times for it to work
