Usaa Deposit Cash

Remote deposit is the ability of a bank customer in the United States and Canada to deposit a cheque into a bank account from a remote location, such as an office or home, without having to physically deliver the cheque to the bank. This is typically accomplished by scanning a digital image of a cheque into a computer, then transmitting that image to the bank. The practice became legal in the United States in 2004 when the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (or Check 21 Act) took effect, though not all banks have implemented the system.

  • The money is in Wells Fargo, and they have been a nightmare. I have written a check and I'm mailing it to USAA to deposit so I can wire it to Japan. I've been told I can wire up to the amount in my account. I'm looking for anyone who has advice or experiences to share about USAA and moving large sums overseas using their wire service.

Give somebody you know the cash and have them write a personal check to you. Then use the USAA @mobile app to deposit the money into your account. If you can't do that, you could spend one dollar, go to the grocery store, purchase a money order for $cash-1, and deposit the money order using the USAA @mobile app like above. USAA Mobile gives you immediate and secure account access from your mobile device. Manage your finances, investments, insurance and much more—all from one convenient app.

This service is typically used by businesses, though a remote deposit application for consumers has been developed and has begun to be implemented by a handful of banks.

Remote deposit should not be confused with:

  • Direct deposit, which refers to the practice of posting amounts, such as employees' weekly earnings, directly to their bank accounts.
  • Online deposit, which refers to a retail banking service allowing an authorized customer to record a check via a web application and have it posted, then mail in the physical check, giving the customer access to the funds before the check clears in the usual way. While this type of service does not involve a scanner nor take advantage of the Check 21 Act, it is also sometimes called remote deposit.[citation needed]

History[edit]

Remote deposits became legal in the United States in 2004 when the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (or Check 21 Act) went into effect. The Act is intended in part to keep the country's financial services operational in the event of a catastrophe that could make rapid long-distance transportation impossible, like the September 11, 2001, attacks. The Check 21 Act makes the digital image of a check legally acceptable for payment purposes, just like a traditional paper check.

Before 2004, if someone deposited a check in an account with one bank, the banks would have to physically exchange the paper check to the bank on which the check is drawn before the money would be credited to the account in the deposit bank. Under Check 21, the deposit bank can simply send an image of the check to the drawing bank. This reduction of the transportation time from total processing life cycle of a check provides a longer time for the corporation to process the checks. Often, this additional processing time allows the corporation to deposit more items at an earlier cutoff time than they otherwise would. In addition, most banks offering Remote Deposit Capture have extended the cutoff times for deposit-8:00 pm, while the deadline for regular paper deposits is 4:00 pm. The practical effect of the law is that checks can still be deposited and cleared, even if a disaster makes it impossible for banks to exchange the physical paper checks with each other.

Mobile deposit[edit]

On July 4, 2009, Element Federal Credit Union (formerly WV United FCU[1]) became the first financial institution to deploy a smartphone app for its members. Members were already able to submit checks for deposit by using a scanner and secure web portal. USAA in 2009 became the first bank to enable customers to deposit checks with a smartphone. Mobile Deposit allows smart phone users to snap a picture of the check with the phone's camera. The application automatically processes the picture and sends it to the bank for deposit. The customer does not mail in the original check, instead voiding or discarding it.[2]

According to an industry study conducted in late 2013, only 10% of U.S. banks and credit unions offered mobile deposit, though many more planned to do so.[3] Some of the largest U.S. banks offer mobile deposit, including Bank of America, Chase, Citibank and Wells Fargo[4][5][6][7] and some in Canada, RBC,[8]TD,[9]CIBC,[10]Tangerine[11] offer mobile deposit to retail banking customers.

Implications for businesses and consumers[edit]

A side effect of the Check 21 Act is that, because the digital image of a check is now considered a legal document, bank customers who get paid with a check can scan an image of the check and deposit it into their account from their home or office if their bank supports doing so.

Advocates of Check 21 claim that remote deposit saves time and money because businesses who use it no longer have to send an employee or a courier to take their checks to the bank. Another potential benefit is that it cuts down on paperwork, and therefore reduces the chances of making mistakes or losing checks in the process of depositing them. Bounced checks also show up faster when processed through remote deposit.

Critics, and some advocates, contend that remote deposit — and by extension, the entire Check 21 Act — is an attempt by the banking industry to eliminate 'float,' the standard one- or two-day waiting period between the time someone writes a check and the time the money is actually taken out of their account. Now that checks can be cashed and cleared electronically, it is theoretically possible for a bank to take the money out of a checking account on the same day a check is used in payment. This would make checks behave much like debit cards, making it impossible, for example, to write a check to pay a bill at the grocery store, then rush to the bank to make a deposit so the check doesn't bounce. So far, all banks in the United States still operate with at least a one-day float period.[citation needed]

Use[edit]

Remote deposit use has grown. A June 2009 survey by group Independent Community Bankers of America found that 62% of banks in the United States offered merchant remote deposit, and 78% had plans to adopt the technology by 2011.

Client adoption of remote deposit capture was projected to reach 1 million by 2010, and over 5 million by 2012.[12]

The banking industry does not keep an official tally of how many businesses use remote deposit nationwide, but, the number is estimated to be in the tens of thousands. Several independent companies such as ProfitStars,[13]BankServ, Diebold, RDM Corporation and NetDeposit claim to have signed up a few thousand customers, although several major banks have also developed their own systems and may eventually end up handling most remote deposit traffic.[citation needed]

I have been a USAA customer for close to 20 years now. When I first started banking with USAA, I had to mail checks into their HQ, which is located in San Antonio, TX. The turnaround time between depositing a check via mail and the time the check was credited to my bank account could be anywhere from a few days to well over a week, depending on when the check was mailed, and from where.

Thankfully, USAA has done a lot to improve the process of depositing checks. In fact, USAA pioneered the digital check deposit process, first with checks that were scanned and uploaded to a secured platform on the USAA website (Deposit @ Home), and later with Deposit @ Mobile, which allows users to simply log into their USAA app on their smartphone or tablet, snap a photo of the front and back of the signed and endorsed check, and deposit the check to their bank account.

This is an incredibly easy and smooth process. And in many cases, the check, or at least a portion of it, is available immediately.

USAA Deposit @ Mobile has revolutionized the way I and hundreds of thousands of their customers do their banking. The same process has also been adopted by countless other banks that now offer check deposits via their smartphone and tablet apps.

How Deposit @ Mobile Works

The first thing you need to do is download the USAA app to your smartphone or tablet. I currently use an Android phone, but the process works the same across Android an Apple (iOS) devices.

USAA Android App

The Android app is a great way to access your USAA account while at home or on the go. In fact, I currently use the app to access my USAA account more frequently than booting up my computer.

It's faster and the app is streamlined, giving users the ability to access their general account, pay bills, transfer funds, start an insurance claim, access USAA Auto Circle and USAA Home Circle, and my new favorite, USAA [email protected], which gives you the ability to deposit a check with your cell phone.

USAA [email protected] on Android

USAA already offers this feature for home computers under the name [email protected] The premise is the same. With the home version, you scan the front and back your check (after you endorse it with your signature and account number). Then you send the scanned photo and amount of the check and the USAA software verifies the information on the check and deposits it into your account. The process is quick and much faster than mailing the check to USAA, since the funds are usually available the same day.

But believe it or not, USAA [email protected] is even faster and easier than [email protected] since it basically removes a step from the process. Instead of having to scan the check, then save and upload the photo to your USAA account, you simply take a picture of the front of your check, then endorse the back of the check, take another picture, then click submit. USAA then informs you whether or not the picture quality was good enough and whether or not it was accepted.

The first time I tried I didn't have the check on a dark background and I had to take another picture (this was clearly stated in the instructions. I just used a medium color background). I didn't have any troubles after I switched to a dark background.

What to Do With the Check After You Deposit via a Mobile App

Deposit Cash Usaa Ups Store

Once your deposit is accepted you will receive a confirmation number and your funds will be available to you. Users are also instructed to write VOID across the front of the check, using large lettering, or to destroy the check.

I usually write the confirmation number in small letters on the bottom of the front of the check, then wait a few weeks to verify there were no issues with the deposit. Every few weeks, I will destroy the checks to ensure there aren't any old checks lying around. That could become a security issue, since checks contain the check writer's bank account number, name, and address.

Here is the main difference between USAA [email protected] and [email protected]: with [email protected] you will have a digital copy of your check. It's probably a good idea to keep a copy of these for your records. With USAA [email protected], your phone doesn't keep a record of the photo. Since the photo isn't stored, you need to either take another photo, scan it into your computer, or keep a physical copy if you want to maintain a copy for your records.

USAA Deposit @ Mobile Eligibility:

A couple of notes about USAA [email protected] and [email protected]: Not all USAA members are eligible for [email protected] and [email protected] You must have a USAA checking or savings account and:

  • Have an active USAA property and casualty insurance policy and be qualified for a USAA loan or credit card (not a USAA Secured Card), OR
  • Be eligible for USAA property and casualty insurance and have an active USAA loan or credit card (not a USAA Secured Card).

Daily Deposit Limits

Contact USAA to verify your eligibility, as well as your daily deposit limit. Most daily deposit limits start small. But they may increase over time, based on the number and type of accounts you have with USAA, your credit history and history with USAA, and other factors.

I have heard of some people being able to deposit up to $100,000 per day. However, there may be a hold placed on a portion of the funds for larger deposits. In addition, I do not believe a $100,000 daily deposit limit is the standard. For larger deposits, you would most likely need to do an ACH or wire transfer.

Supporting Hardware

In addition to meeting eligibility requirements, you will need to have an iPhone or iPad, or an Android capable phone or tablet with the right hardware.

  • USAA Mobile App for Android.

Overall, I'm more than pleased with the USAA Android App, and I'm seriously loving the [email protected] feature. It simplifies my banking life and makes my money available to me more quickly. Win-win-win.
