Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions
This Agreement contains the terms and conditions for the use of the Nation Choice Reserve Bank Mobile Deposit service. Other agreements you have entered into with Nation Choice Reserve Bank ("The Bank"), including the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures governing your account, are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.
- Services. The Mobile Deposit 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 the Bank or Bank's designated processor.
- 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. Your continued use of the Services will indicate your acceptance of the revised Agreement. Further, the Bank 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.
- 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. 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. Once you have qualified for the Services, you will be issued a Username and Password that you are responsible for securely maintaining to prevent unauthorized use. If the Services are unavailable or you are not able to transmit items, you will need to deposit those items in person at a Nation Choice Reserve Bank office.
- Hardware and Software. In order to use the Service, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, compatible hardware and software as specified by us from time to time. See the Mobile Deposit FAQ page for current hardware and software specifications. The Bank is not responsible for any third party software you may need to use the Service. Any such software is subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement with the third party software provider.
- 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 the Bank 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. We 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 you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:
- Money orders
- Traveler’s checks
- Savings bonds
- Checks drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States, including, but not limited to, Canada
- 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 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 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 The Bank’s current procedures relating to the Services or which are otherwise not acceptable under the terms of your Nation Choice Reserve 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.
- Deposit Process. You may forward only one (1) Check Image at a time for deposit and the Check Image must be accompanied by all requested deposit information that matches the information on the Check Image. Check Images must be properly payable to the Account Holder, contain the drawer's signature, and be properly endorsed by the Account Holder. You shall review checks to detect altered or counterfeit items and shall not deposit suspicious checks via the Service. You shall report suspicious checks to Bank for inspection. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service that Bank may implement from time to time. If you do not satisfy the requirements for the deposit of an Eligible Check, Bank will have the right to put a hold on or return the nonconforming check.
- Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to restrictively endorse any item transmitted through the Services as "For mobile deposit only", followed by your signature, or as otherwise instructed by the Bank. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Services as the Bank may establish from time to time.
- Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Services, at our discretion. 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 The Bank 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 the Bank is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item. Any check returned unpaid for any reason will be debited from your Account. If an item is charged back, you will receive an image of the original check or a substitute check as the charged-back item.
- Availability of Funds. You agree that items transmitted using the Service 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 7:45 p.m. Eastern Time 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 service will generally be made available the next business day after receipt of the items. For deposits made during the first 90 days after an account is opened, the following availability guidelines will apply: The first $200 of funds deposited into the new account will be available on the next business day after the day of your deposit. Any funds in excess of $200 deposited into the new account will generally be available on the 4th business day after the day of deposit.
- Disposal of Deposited Items. Upon confirming that the funds have been credited to your account (typically, funds are credited within 24 hours) you agree to prominently mark the item as "Electronically Presented" or "VOID" and you agree never to re-present the item. You agree that, 30 days after deposit, you will shred or otherwise properly dispose of the item to ensure that it is not re-presented for payment. During the time the retained check is available, you agree to keep it in a secure location and promptly provide it, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the item, to the Bank as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any item, or for the Bank's audit purposes.
- Deposit Limits. All items deposited via the Service are subject to Bank review and/or approval. We reserve the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of items that you transmit using the Service and to modify such limits from time to time. If you attempt to use the Service to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. You may not use the Service to deposit items totaling more than $2,500 in a single 24-hour period or items totaling more than $5,000 per calendar month. We may impose lower limits at any time and without advance notification.
- Errors. You agree to follow our error notification process as outlined and defined in the Deposit Account Agreement governing your account.
- Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment and collected shall be in the Bank's sole discretion subject to the Deposit Account Agreement governing your account.
- Errors in Transmission. By using the Services you accept the risk that an item may be intercepted or misdirected during transmission. The Bank bears no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected items or information disclosed through such errors.
- Image Quality. The image of an item transmitted to The Bank using the Services must be legible, as determined in the sole discretion of The Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, the image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by The Bank, American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearinghouse or association.

- 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.
- Change in Terms. This Agreement is subject to change from time to time. We will notify you of any material change via email or other means.
