How to Make Mobile Deposits with UFB Direct

Making a mobile deposit with UFB Direct is one of the most popular and convenient features of our app. It allows you to deposit checks directly into your account using your smartphone or tablet's camera, saving you a trip to a physical location. Before you begin, ensure the check is properly endorsed with "For Mobile Deposit Only UFB Direct" and your signature.

  1. Open the App and Select Deposit: Launch the UFB Direct mobile banking app and log in. Navigate to the "Deposit" or "Mobile Deposit" section, typically found in the main menu.
  2. Select Account and Enter Amount: Choose the account where you wish to deposit the check. Then, accurately enter the dollar amount of the check. Double-check this amount to avoid errors.
  3. Take Photos of the Check: The app will guide you to take clear pictures of the front and back of the endorsed check. Position the check on a dark, well-lit surface, ensuring all four corners are visible within the camera frame. The app will usually provide a guide box.
  4. Review and Confirm: After capturing the images, review all the details, including the amount and the images. If everything looks correct, confirm the deposit. You will typically receive an on-screen confirmation and often an email confirmation as well.

Keep the physical check in a safe place until the funds are fully cleared, usually within a few business days. This simple process makes depositing checks incredibly efficient.

The app also features session timeouts, which automatically log you out after a period of inactivity, preventing unauthorized access if your device is left unattended. Furthermore, UFB Direct employs fraud monitoring systems that continuously watch for unusual activity, flagging and investigating anything that seems out of the ordinary. These measures are designed to give you peace of mind while enjoying the convenience of banking from your mobile device. For general best practices in mobile security, you might consult resources from organizations like the Federal Trade Commission.

We also encourage users to play an active role in their security.
