Mobile Deposit Terms & Conditions

 

Mobile Deposit (referred to throughout as Remote Deposit Capture “RDC”) is designed to allow you to make deposits of checks (“original checks”) to your accounts from home or other remote locations by scanning the original checks and delivering the digital images and associated deposit information (“images”) to us or our processor with your mobile device.

Please take a few minutes to read this Mobile Deposit Terms & Conditions (referred to throughout as the “Agreement”). Any reference to Seasons Federal Credit Union in this Agreement includes any directors, officers, employees, contractors, service providers, agents or licensees of Seasons Federal Credit Union. As used in this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” refer to you as the user of the RDC; the words “SFCU”, “we”, “us”, “our” and any other variation thereof refer to Seasons FCU Credit Union. When you are ready, click the “I Agree to accept these terms and conditions” button to start enjoying the convenience of RDC.

Acceptance of Terms
This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions (the "Terms") on which our service provider and SFCU will provide. You may use RDC as part of a legally binding agreement between you and SFCU. When you click on the “I Agree to accept the terms and conditions” button, you agree to accept the Terms, including any amendments to this Agreement or any changes in the Terms. If you do not agree to all of the Terms, do not accept the Terms. If you do not accept and agree to all of the Terms, you will not be entitled to use the RDC. SFCU reserves the right to change the Terms under which the RDC is offered in its sole discretion at any time; however, SFCU will notify you of any material change to the Terms. In most cases, you will receive the notice on-line the next time you log in; however, SFCU reserves the right to notify you by e-mail or by conventional mail, in its discretion. You agree that if you continue to use RDC after we notify you of any change, you thereby accept the changes to the Terms and agree to be bound by this Agreement, as amended. If you do not accept and agree to the changes to the Terms, you will not be entitled to use RDC. You can review, download and print the most current version of this Agreement at www.seasonsfcu.org. If you do not agree to the changes, or if at any time you wish to discontinue your use of RDC, you can unsubscribe by contacting SFCU. Once your account with SFCU has terminated for any reason, you will have no further right or access to use RDC.

Eligible Items
You agree to scan and deposit checks only (i.e., drafts drawn on a credit union, savings and loan or bank and payable on demand.)

You agree that you will not use RDC to deposit:

• Checks payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e., payable to another party and then endorsed to you).
• Checks payable to you and another party who is not a joint owner on the account.
• Checks that contain evidence of alteration, or that 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.

Image Collection and Usage
Our banking app may collect and utilize user images for various purposes aimed at enhancing user experience and providing specific functionalities. Users maintain control over the camera access and usage within the app. Camera access is explicitly requested when the app requires image capture for any functionality. Users can enable or disable camera access at any time through the app's settings. Disabling camera access will prevent the app from utilizing the camera for any functionality requiring image capture. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users' information. Any images collected are used solely for the intended purposes outlined above and are not shared with any unauthorized parties. By using our app, you consent to the collection and usage of images as described in this terms and conditions.

Requirements 
Each image must provide all information on the front and back of the original check at the time presented to you by the drawer, including, but not limited to, information about the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the original check, MICR information, signature(s), any required identification written on the front of the original check and any endorsements applied to the back of the original check. The image quality must meet the standards established by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

Endorsements must be made on the back of the share draft or check within 1½ inches from the top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside this space. Your endorsement must include your signature and “for mobile deposit only”. Checks that are not endorsed as specified will be rejected by SFCU. Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.

A check payable to two payees must be endorsed by both payees. If the check is made payable to you and your joint owner, both of you must endorse the check. If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it.

Receipt of Deposit
All images processed for deposit through RDC will be treated as “deposits” under your current Membership and Account Agreement with us and will be subject to all terms of the Membership and Account Agreement. When we receive an image, we will confirm receipt via e-mail to you. We shall not be deemed to have received the image for deposit until we have confirmed receipt to you. Confirmation does not mean that the image contains no errors. We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.

We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any image for deposit into your account. We will notify you of rejected images.

Original Checks
After you receive confirmation that we have received an image, you must securely store the original check for 60 calendar days after transmission to us and make the original check accessible to us at our request. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within 10 calendar days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of an original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check.

You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if you represent an original check that has already been paid.

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.

If original checks deposited through RDC are dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or are rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank, for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the image, you agree that an original check will not be returned to you, but that we may charge back the amount of the original check and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check. You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.

We may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.
