Mobile Deposit is secure. It features multiple layers of security.

What can I do to protect my Mobile Deposit security?

• Don’t use Mobile Deposit in conjunction with public Wi-Fi access.
• Password protect your smart phone and your mobile app with separate and distinct passwords.
• Don’t share your passwords with others.
• Protect your smart phone with malware detection.
• After securely retaining mobile deposited checks for 45 days, dispose of them appropriately by shredding them.

Personal and business U.S. checks can be deposited through Mobile Deposit. Checks from Canada and other foreign countries, savings bonds and poor image quality checks must be deposited at the bank. In Mobile Deposit, do not deposit a check payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e. a check that is payable to another party and then endorsed to you). Do not attempt to deposit a check made out to “Cash” through Mobile Deposit.

There is no limit on the number of checks that can be deposited. However, there are per check and total daily dollar limits for West Bank Mobile Deposit.

Single check limit $1,500

Total daily deposit limit $5,000

These limits may change without notice to you.

You can transmit mobile deposits to West Bank 24-hours a day, 7-days a week including weekends and holidays, with the exception of our routine maintenance downtimes. Deposits can be made any time in the Mobile App, and checks are generally credited to your account within two business days.

Checks deposited through Mobile Deposit are subject to verification and funds may not be available immediately.

Generally, mobile check deposits received and approved before 4:00 p.m. on a business day will be available the next business day.

For example:

• Deposit Day Monday Before 4:00 p.m. - Funds Available Tuesday
• Deposit Day Monday After 4:00 p.m. - Funds Available Wednesday
• Deposit Day Saturday Funds Available - Anytime Tuesday

In the West Bank Mobile app, on the “Deposits” tab, click the Deposit History link to check the status of your mobile deposits. A “Pending” status indicates that the funds have not yet been deposited to your account. A “Failed” status indicates that your deposit has rejected. An “Approved” status means that the funds have been deposited to your account.

No, mobile deposits cannot be seen in Online Banking until the transaction has posted to your account. In the interim, you can view the status of the deposit in the Deposit History link in the Mobile Banking app.

Deposit information is available in the Mobile Banking app by going to the “Deposits” tab and clicking the Deposit History link. A status of “failed” will be displayed when an error is found.

Sign your name and write “For West Bank Mobile Deposit only” on the endorsement lines on the back of the check.

Make a note on the check that it was deposited using Mobile Deposit. Keep the check for 45 days, then dispose of it securely by shredding the check. If there are problems processing your mobile deposit, you may need your original physical check to resolve the issue. An image of the deposited check remains available on your phone for 30 days. You can view your Mobile Deposit history by selecting “Deposit History” within the mobile app.

The software has built-in duplicate detection tools that usually detect items already deposited. If the software detects potential duplicate checks, an alert notifies you that the check is a duplicate.

The software has an Image Quality Assessment (IQA) tool that automatically identifies the problems with the check image. If a problem is detected, you’ll be asked to retake the photo.
