Mobile check deposit is a feature within the U.S. Bank Mobile App that lets you deposit checks into your U.S. Bank checking or savings account digitally. And there's no fee. All you need is a mobile device with a camera.
Please note, mobile check deposit is only available on the U.S. Bank Mobile App. This service is not available on our full website usbank.com.
To deposit a check using the U.S. Bank Mobile App
- Select Transfer & pay, then choose Deposit a check.
- Select the account you'd like to deposit funds into, then enter the check amount.
Note: For U.S. Treasury checks, use the toggle bar to avoid impacting your daily and weekly deposit limits.
- Sign the check.
- Turn the check over and clearly sign your name in the endorsement space.
- Use black or blue ink for better visibility.
- Take a picture of the front and back of the check.
For best results, follow these tips:
- Take the picture directly above the check while holding the camera still.
- Place your check on a dark background.
- Have strong enough lighting to see all details.
- Make sure all four corners show and the check is flat without folds or creases.
- Ensure the picture is in focus. If it's blurry, try taking the picture again.
- Optional: Add a note in the Personal note field.
- Avoid adding sensitive information such as PINs, account numbers, or passwords.
- These notes are specific to your profile and can be referenced later. This information is not added to our system of record; therefore, only you can read them.
- Review the details of your mobile deposit and select Deposit.
Note: We recommend retaining all checks for at least seven business days after the deposit is made.
