Deposit checks whenever, from wherever, using your smartphone’s camera with our mobile app. Simply endorse your check, snap photos of the front and back, and submit it securely. No need to visit a branch or ATM – managing your deposits has never been easier.
Remote Deposit lets you deposit checks directly into your Credit Union account using your smartphone or tablet – anytime, anywhere. It’s free for eligible members and available through our mobile app for Android and Apple devices.
To get started, enroll in digital banking, then download the Rize app from the Apple Store or Google Play. Simply snap a photo of your check, follow the on-screen steps, and submit your deposit securely.
Tip: Most deposits are subject to review and may have a daily limit. Funds are typically available within 1–2 business days, but check hold times may vary. If you have questions about availability or limits, just reach out through chat or by calling 800.866.6474 – we’re here to help!
To use Remote Deposit, you’ll need to meet a few basic requirements:
Have an Android or Apple device with internet access and a camera
Be enrolled in digital banking
Have a Credit Union account in good standing with no history of negative activity
Once you’re set up, you can deposit checks quickly and securely – without visiting a branch!
Need access? If you meet the requirements but don’t see Remote Deposit in the app, just reach out through chat or by calling 800.866.6474, and we’ll be happy to help activate it for you.
Yes. To avoid delays, please endorse the back of the check and write:
“For Rize CU deposit only”
This endorsement helps ensure your check is processed quickly and securely. Let us know if you’re ever unsure – our team is happy to help!
For best results, follow these tips when capturing your check image:
Place the check on a dark, flat surface free of any clutter
Make sure the entire check fits within the screen borders, front and back
Ensure the MICR line (the long string of numbers at the bottom) is fully visible
Leave a little space between the MICR line and the edge of the image
Taking a moment to get a clear photo helps your deposit go through without delays!
After you submit your deposit, you’ll see a confirmation message on your screen. You can also log in to digital banking to confirm it was received.
Keep in mind once your check is transmitted, it will go through a review process to ensure it can be fully processed. We recommend keeping the physical check in a safe place for 14 days before securely destroying it.
If your deposit is rejected, you’ll receive a notification in digital banking with the reason. If you have questions or need help, just reach out through chat or by calling 800.866.6474 – we’re happy to assist.
Up to $225 of your deposit is typically available immediately, with the remaining funds available by the second business day after the day of deposit.
All deposits are subject to review before final credit is issued. In some cases, additional delays may apply – especially for large deposits or if there’s an issue with the check image.
If a delay occurs, you’ll be notified through digital banking or contacted directly. If you have questions, just reach out through chat or by calling 800.866.6474 – we’re always happy to help!
There’s no strict cut-off for submitting a check, but deposits made after 3:00pm PST will be processed on the next business day.
Submitting your check earlier in the day helps ensure quicker review and availability of funds. Let us know if you ever need help tracking a deposit!
Once your check has been successfully submitted, it will be reviewed for processing. To be safe, store the check in a secure place for 14 days in case it’s needed for verification.
A good tip: keep a separate folder for checks you’ve already deposited to avoid mixing them up with ones that still need to be submitted. After 14 days, you can safely destroy the check – preferably by shredding.
You can deposit up to five checks per business day, with a combined daily total limit of $10,000.
If you need to deposit more than that or have questions about your individual limits, feel free to reach out through chat or by calling 800.866.6474 – we’re happy to help!
