You may check the status of your deposit by phone or by Online or Mobile Banking. You will receive an email if the deposit is declined after it has been accepted by Mobile Banking.

When will money deposited with mobile deposit be available?

Your account will be credited by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the current business day if the deposit is

be credited on the next business day by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. (Business days are Monday through

Why am I unable to deposit my check?

  • Is your check legible? Check images should not be too dark, reflective, or blurry. Each check
    image must include the front and back of the check. The following information must be clearly
    readable: amount, payee name, drawer signature, date, check number, account number,
    routing and transit number, MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) line, and any
    endorsement or other information written on the check.
  • Are you using an approved device? Your device may not be approved for mobile capture. At
    present, the supported Mobile Devices are iPhones, iPads, and phones and tablets using Android
    OS and that allow the Dominion Energy Credit Union app to be added.
  • Does the check amount match the amount you entered? Make sure you have not made an error
    in entering the dollar amount of your check.
  • Did you already submit your check? A check cannot be submitted twice.
  • Are all four corners of the check visible? Mobile capture may not allow folded, torn, or cropped
    check corners.
  • Did you endorse your check? You must sign the back of the check.

What are the fees and restrictions for mobile deposit?

Mobile deposit is a FREE service! Online Banking and Mobile Banking, which are required for Mobile
Deposit, are also FREE!

Please note, however, that standard checking holds and fees will apply. For example, overdraft fees
when a transaction is made with nonsufficient funds apply. For a full description of checking fees, please
see the Membership Agreement and Disclosures. Please see the Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions
for a full list of restrictions on mobile deposit.

What do I do with my check after I use mobile deposit?

Check your account statement to make sure the deposit has been credited to your account. Keep your
check in a secure location for 14 days from the date you made the deposit. Then shred or destroy the
check.

What happens if I see an error with my mobile deposit?

You must notify the Credit Union of any suspected errors regarding checks deposited through Mobile
Deposit within 60 days after the Credit Union account statement is sent to you with the error. As with all
account errors, we will not make changes to your statement more than 60 days after it is sent to you.

Is Mobile Deposit safe and secure?

Yes! Our mobile site has the same security features as Online Banking. Just like Online Banking, Mobile
Banking and Mobile Deposit take advantage of the powerful technology available through a digital
certificate from Verisign, Inc., protecting the security of the site with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 128-bit
encryption. In addition to the encryption technology, we have installed multiple firewalls to protect your
accounts from unauthorized access from outside the Credit Union.

Why are there holds on mobile deposits?

For security purposes and to ensure the funds for large deposits. These are the same holds that we place on deposits in the branch. 

The first $225 of any mobile deposit will be available the same business day, unless the deposit was held for the reasons above. The next $5,300 will be available the second business day. Any funds exceeding the $5,525 ($225 + $5,300) will be available five business days after the deposit.

For example, and assuming no federal holidays, you deposit $700 on Monday. $225 will be available later on Monday. The remaining $475 will be available on Wednesday.

Why do some transactions show as pending transactions and not deposits?

This is due to a technical limitation in our digital banking system. We apologize for the ambiguity.

Can the credit union get a hold on a deposit released?

Releasing holds is determined on a case by case basis. Please contact the credit union if you would like a hold released.
