Terms and Conditions – Mobile Remote Deposit Capture
- The Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service (Mobile Remote Deposit Capture) provides you the ability to access and make deposits to your designated eligible Accounts using the Software. The Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service is designed to take advantage of The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act and its regulations (collectively “Check 21”). The Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service enables you to use a compatible handheld device to scan an image of original paper checks (“Original Checks”) that are drawn on or payable through United States financial institutions (each a “Check Image”) and to electronically submit the Check Image and associated deposit information to Mechanics & Farmers Bank from your home or other remote locations using the Software for deposit into a designated eligible Account for collection thereafter by Mechanics & Farmers Bank. A Check Image submitted to Mechanics & Farmers Bank electronically for deposit is not deemed received until Mechanics & Farmers Bank accepts and confirms receipt of your Check Image deposit.
- Your use of the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service is subject to the requirements: To access the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service you must have or acquire and maintain a compatible handheld device and a wireless plan from a compatible wireless carrier. You must request access to and qualify, and Mechanics & Farmers Bank must approve you, to use the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service. You may scan and submit Check Images for deposit to Mechanics & Farmers Bank within the dollar limits (“Deposit Limits”) established for you by Mechanics & Farmers Bank. Mechanics & Farmers Bank reserves the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of deposits submitted through the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture Service. If you exceed the Deposit Limits established for you, Mechanics & Farmers Bank may in its sole discretion accept or refuse the Check Image deposit. If at any time Mechanics & Farmers Bank accepts a Check Image deposit that exceeds your Deposit Limits, Mechanics & Farmers Bank will have no obligation to do so in the future. Mechanics & Farmers Bank may at any time at its sole discretion raise or lower your Deposit Limits. By requesting access to the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service, you authorize Mechanics & Farmers Bank to provide you with access to all of the eligible accounts you designate to participate in the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service. The following account types are currently eligible for the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture Service: checking, savings, and money market accounts.
- Scanning and submitting Check Image deposits does not constitute receipt of the deposit by Mechanics & Farmers Bank. Generally, Check Image deposits received prior to 6:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time are processed on the Business Day of receipt. Any Check Image deposit received after this time or on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays when Mechanics & Farmers Bank is closed will be processed on Mechanics & Farmers Bank’s next Business Day. Acknowledgment that your Check Image deposit has been received by Mechanics & Farmers Bank does not mean that the Check Image deposit was received error-free.
- You may verify receipt and the amount of your Check Image deposit credited to your account by reviewing your statement online or by calling Mechanics & Farmers Bank customer service at Mechanics & Farmers Bank.
- You agree that you will use the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service to scan only Original Checks payable to and properly endorsed by you, drawn on financial institutions in the United States with a valid ABA/Routing Number and denominated in U.S. Dollars, and intended for deposit by you to your designated Account with Mechanics & Farmers Bank. All other items may be deposited by alternate methods such as in person or by mail including a completed account deposit slip.
- You understand that Mechanics & Farmers Bank is not obligated to accept for deposit any Check Image that Mechanics & Farmers Bank, in its sole discretion, determines to be ineligible for the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service. Ineligible items include: Check Images of items drawn on banks located outside the United States, Check Images that are illegible, images of checks previously converted to Substitute Checks (as defined by Check 21), and Check Images with unreadable magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) information. The quality of any Check Image must comply with the requirements established from time to time by ANSI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. You acknowledge and agree that even if Mechanics & Farmers Bank does not identify a Check Image as ineligible, the Check Image may be returned to Mechanics & Farmers Bank because, among other reasons, the Check Image or any Substitute Check created from the Check Image is deemed ineligible by the financial institution upon which it is drawn or any intermediate collecting financial institution. Mechanics & Farmers Bank’s failure to identify a Check Image you transmit to Mechanics & Farmers Bank as ineligible shall not preclude or limit your obligations.
- You shall fully destroy each Original Check in your Check Image deposit thirty (60) days following receipt and crediting of your Check Image deposit or as Mechanics & Farmers Bank may otherwise instruct. Prior to destruction, you shall maintain each Original Check in a secure location. You understand each Original Check must be fully destroyed following any retention period and that a paper shredder is one such method to assure destruction. You are responsible if an Original Check is misused following submission by Check Image deposit and its full destruction.
- You make the following representations and warranties:
- You shall not alter any Original Check or Check Image and shall review the Check Image to ensure that it accurately represents all of the information on the front and the back of the Original Check at the time you scanned the Check Image.
- You shall submit to Mechanics & Farmers Bank only Check Images that are suitable for processing, including, but not limited to, Check Images that are legible and contain machine-readable MICR data.
- You shall destroy the Original Checks as stated above.
- You shall not submit to Mechanics & Farmers Bank or to any other person or entity for deposit or credit any Original Check if a Check Image of the Original Check has already been submitted and accepted for deposit into your Account with Mechanics & Farmers Bank or which you previously submitted to and was accepted by any other person or entity for deposit. o
- You shall not deposit into your Account with Mechanics & Farmers Bank or any other deposit-taking institution or otherwise negotiate or transfer to anyone any Original Check that you submitted as a Check Image deposit to Mechanics & Farmers Bank, unless following receipt of your submission, Mechanics & Farmers Bank notifies you that the Check Image is ineligible and not accepted for deposit or that the Check Image or any Substitute Check created from the Image is refused by the financial institution upon which it is drawn.
- You shall indemnify, defend, and hold Mechanics & Farmers Bank and its agents from and against all liability, damage, and loss arising from any claims, suits, or demands brought by third parties with respect to any Check Image, Substitute Check, or Original Check processed through the Mobile Remote Deposit Capture service as described above.
