Mobile deposit FAQs

Why are my funds on hold?

In general, mobile deposit funds will be held for one to two business days (excluding weekends and federal holidays).

How do I know when my funds will be available?

In general, $225 will be made immediately available for accounts in good standing. Some accounts may qualify for a higher amount.

Why did Mountain America change their mobile deposit policy?

The mobile deposit policy was changed to protect members from losses surrounding the increase in financial scams due to COVID-19. Many of our members are being targeted by scams to deposit “bad” checks that leave members with a negative balance. In nearly all of these scams, fraudsters are requesting the member’s username and password. As a reminder, Mountain America will never contact you to ask for your username, password or PIN.
