Mobile Deposit

Here's what to know about our Mobile Deposit service. 

1. Services. The mobile remote deposit capture services (“Services”) are designed to allow you to make deposits to your checking, savings, or money market savings accounts from home or other remote locations by scanning checks and delivering the images and associated deposit information to DATCU or DATCU’s designated processor.

2. Acceptance of these Terms. Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to change from time to time. We will notify you of any material change via e-mail, text message, or on our website(s) by providing a link to the revised Agreement or by an online secure message. You will be prompted to accept or reject any material change to this Agreement the next time you use the Service after DATCU has made the change. Your acceptance of the revised terms and conditions along with the continued use of the Services will indicate your consent to be bound by the revised Agreement. Further, DATCU reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from the Services. Your continued use of the Services will indicate your acceptance of any such changes to the Services.

3. Limitations of Service. When using the Services, you may experience technical or other difficulties. We will attempt to post alerts on our website to notify you of these interruptions in Service. We cannot assume responsibility for any technical or other difficulties or any resulting damages that you may incur. Some of the Services have qualification requirements, and we reserve the right to change the qualifications at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to change, suspend or discontinue the Services, in whole or in part, or your use of the Services, in whole or in part, immediately and at any time without prior notice to you.

4. Hardware and Software. In order to use the Services, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, compatible hardware and software as specified by DATCU from time to time. DATCU is not responsible for any third party software you may need to use the Services. Any such software is accepted by you as is and is subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement you enter into directly with the third party software provider at time of download and installation.

5. Fees. A fee may be charged for this Service. You are responsible for paying the fees for the use of the Service. Any fee that is charged will be disclosed prior to your deposit. DATCU may change the fees for use of the Service at any time pursuant to the section titled “Acceptance of these Terms” above. You authorize DATCU to deduct any such fees from any DATCU account in your name.

6. Eligible items. You agree to scan and deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg. CC”). When the image of the check transmitted to DATCU is converted to an Image Replacement Document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

You agree that you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:

• Checks payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account that the check is being deposited into
• Checks containing an alteration on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn
• Checks payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees.
• Checks previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg. CC.
• Checks drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States.
• Checks that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg. CC.
• Checks not payable in United States currency.
• Checks dated more than 6 months prior to the date of deposit.
• Checks or items prohibited by DATCU’s current procedures relating to the Services or which are otherwise not acceptable under the terms of your DATCU account.
• Checks payable on sight or payable through Drafts, as defined in Reg. CC.
• Checks with any endorsement on the back other than that specified in this agreement.
• Checks that have previously been submitted through the Service or through a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution.
• Checks or items that are drawn or otherwise issued by the U.S. Treasury Department

7. Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to restrictively endorse any item transmitted through the Services as “For RDC deposit only, account #______” as instructed by DATCU. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Services as DATCU may establish from time to time.

8. Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Services, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from DATCU that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free, complete or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account. We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time, any item that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item. You agree that DATCU is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.

9. Availability of Funds. You agree that items transmitted using the Services are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 4:00 p.m. CST on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Funds deposited using the Services will generally be made available within five business days from the day of deposit. DATCU may make a portion of the funds available sooner as outlined below:
a) The first $200 of any single item may be made immediately available for withdraw. Please remember that even after we have made the funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

10. Disposal of Transmitted Items. Upon your receipt of a confirmation from DATCU that we have received an image that you have transmitted, You agree to retain the check for at least 30 calendar days from the date of the image transmission. After 30 days, You agree to destroy the check that you transmitted as an image, mark it “VOID”, or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit, or presentment. During the time the retained check is available, you agree to promptly provide it to DATCU upon request.

11. Deposit Limits. We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times. The current daily dollar limit is $3,000.00 per business day. In addition, the current monthly dollar limit is $10,000.00 per any 30 consecutive calendar day period. There is no daily or monthly statement cycle limit on the number of items, as long as the respective dollar limits are not exceeded. Daily and monthly deposit limits may vary for users of other services, at the sole discretion of DATCU Credit Union.

12. Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be in DATCU’s sole discretion subject to the Member Account Agreement.

13. Errors. You agree to notify DATCU of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through the Services right away, and in no event later than 30 days after the applicable DATCU account statement is sent. Unless you notify DATCU within 30 days, such statement regarding all deposits made through the Services shall be deemed correct, and you are prohibited from bringing a claim against DATCU for such alleged error.

14. Errors in Transmission. By using the Services you accept the risk that an item may be intercepted or misdirected during transmission. DATCU bears no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected items or information disclosed through such errors.

15. Image Quality. The image of an item transmitted to DATCU using the Services must be legible, as determined in the sole discretion of DATCU. Without limiting the foregoing, the image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by DATCU, ANSI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearinghouse or association.

16. User Warranties and Indemnification. You warrant to DATCU that:

a. You will only transmit eligible items.
b. You will not transmit duplicate items.
c. You will not re-deposit or re-present the original item.
d. All information you provide to DATCU is accurate and true.
e. You will comply with this Agreement and all applicable rules, laws and regulations.
f. You are not aware of any factor which may impair the collectability of the item.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DATCU from any loss for breach of this warranty provision.

17. Cooperation with Investigations. You agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of unusual transactions, poor quality transmissions, and resolution of customer claims, including by providing, upon request and without further cost, any originals or copies of items deposited through the Service in your possession and your records relating to such items and transmissions.

18. Termination. We may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until it is terminated by us. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated if you breach any term of this Agreement, if you use the Services for any unauthorized or illegal purposes or you use the Services in a manner inconsistent with the terms of your Member Account Agreement or any other agreement with us.

19. Enforceability. We may waive enforcement of any provision of this Agreement. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the Agreement. Any such waiver shall not affect our rights with respect to any other transaction or to modify the terms of this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

20. Ownership & License. You agree that DATCU retains all ownership and proprietary rights in the Services, associated content, technology, and website(s). Your use of the Services is subject to and conditioned upon your complete compliance with this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, any breach of this Agreement immediately terminates your right to use the Services. Without limiting the restriction of the foregoing, you may not use the Services (i) in any anti-competitive manner, (ii) for any purpose which would be contrary to DATCU’s business interest, or (iii) to DATCU’s actual or potential economic disadvantage in any aspect. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from the content and agree not to reverse engineer or reverse compile any of the technology used to provide the Services.
