Take a Photo of Your Check

  • Flatten folded or crumpled checks before taking photos.
  • Keep the check within the view finder on the camera screen when capturing your photos. Try not to get too much of the areas surrounding the check.
  • Do not zoom into the check. Instead, move your phone closer to the check.
  • Take photos of your check in a well-lit area. Place the check on solid dark background before taking the photo of it.
  • Keep your phone or iPad flat and steady above the check when taking your photos.
  • Hold the camera as square to the check as possible to reduce corner to corner skew.
  • Make sure the entire check image is visible and in focus before submitting your deposit.
  • Ensure there are no shadows across the check, all four corners are visible, the check is not blurry and the MICR line (numbers on the bottom of your check) is readable.
