If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or account closure.

We will not be required to complete a withdrawal or transfer from your account(s) if you do not have enough money in the designated account(s) to cover the transaction; however, we may complete the transaction. You agree not to use Online Banking to initiate a transaction that would cause the balance in your designated account(s) to go below zero. If you have a line-of-credit, you agree not to use Online Banking to initiate a transaction that would cause the outstanding balance of your line-of-credit to go above your credit limit. We will not be required to complete such a transaction, but if we do, you agree to pay us the excess amount or improperly withdrawn amount or transferred amount immediately upon our request. We also will refuse to complete your Online Banking transactions if we have canceled your Online Banking access, or we cannot complete the transaction for security reasons.

Access to your accounts requires utilization of a Username and Password. You may change your Password at any time by logging into the Online Banking and updating your account security settings. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your Username and/or Password available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts.

Required Endorsement

The paper check must have a legible endorsement including your signature and the words “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY TO PYRAMID FCU” written on the back of the check.

Use of Service:

After you login to the Pyramid FCU Mobile App:

• Select the "+" in the yellow circle at bottom of the screen for more options
• Select "Deposit Check." The camera will open for you to take a picture of the front of the check. Once the photo is taken, you will see a pop up for Endorsements with a reminder of the correct endosement which must be written on the back side of the check.
• Click OK. The camera will be ready for a picture of the back side of the check.
• Then enter the amount of the check.
• Select the account to receive the deposit.
• Confirm the images are clear and amount is correct, then click "Deposit Check."

Upon submission, the deposit will undergo an image quality check. Should the deposit fail this quality check, you will be prompted to retake the picture of the front and/or back of the check.

After submitting each deposit you will receive an in-app confirmation that the deposit has been submitted for processing. This notification acknowledges the receipt of the deposit but DOES NOT mean the deposit has been approved.

If your deposit repeatedly fails the quality check, or is rejected for any reason, you will be required to bring the check(s) into a branch or mail the check(s) to us for processing.

DO NOT destroy the paper check for 30 days after deposit posts to your account. 

If the deposit has been reviewed and approved, it will be posted to your qualifying account with a Mobile Deposit description.  Once the deposit has been approved the funds will be posted to your qualifying account; however, the funds will be available in accordance with the Funds Availability section below.

Funds Availability:

Our general policy is to allow you to withdraw funds deposited in your account on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit.  In some cases, we may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the first business day.  Then, the funds will generally be available by the second business day after the day of the deposit.  A notice of delayed availability will be mailed to you.

Deposits sent using Mobile Deposit may be submitted any time of day, weekend, or holiday. However, deposits received by us after the daily cut-off time for electronic deposits will be deposited the next business day, provided that the deposit meets all requirements. Deposits submitted on holidays or weekends will also be deposited the next business day, provided it meets all requirements. The daily cut-off time for electronic deposits is 3:00pm and is subject to change without notice to you.

Mobile Deposit Unavailability

Mobile Deposit may be unavailable temporarily due to system maintenance or technical difficulties, including those of the Internet service provider, cellular service provider and Internet software.  If for any reason the Mobile Deposit Service is not able to process your deposit, you may take your check(s) to the nearest Pyramid branch for deposit to your qualifying account or mailing the original check(s) to Pyramid Federal Credit Union, PO Box 12100, Tucson AZ 85732-2100.

Fees

Mobile Deposit is currently provided at no charge to you. We may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to you, to the extent required by applicable law, charge a fee for use of this service.  If you continue to use Mobile Deposit after the fee becomes effective, you agree to pay the service fee that has been disclosed to you, as may be amended from time to time.  Further, any such service fee will be debited from the same deposit account where the check is being deposited. If your deposit account does not have sufficient funds to cover fees, you authorize us to charge any such fees to any other deposit account you maintain with us. 

Mobile Deposit Limits

We reserve the right to impose limits on the deposits you submit using this service and to modify such limits from time to time. This service is currently subject to following limits:

• Daily Limit: The maximum cumulative amount you may deposit in a single day is $5,000.

Returns

If a paper item in a deposit is dishonored or otherwise returned for any reason, you authorize us to debit the amount of such paper item from the credited qualifying account. If there are insufficient funds in the credited qualifying account, you authorize us to collect the funds from any of your accounts. If funds are not available in any account, you agree to reimburse us for the amount of any dishonored or returned paper item. You also agree to pay any applicable fees in accordance with the Fee Schedule in effect at the time of the collection. Failure to do so may result in a charge-back to the qualified account which may cause the account to become overdraft and will be processed in accordance with our Overdraft Policy in effect.  As a last resort, we may seek other alternatives for reimbursement which could include legal channels.

Because you have retained and, after thirty (30) calendar days, destroyed the original paper item, you acknowledge that it is impossible for us to return such original to you. You agree that the paper item returned will be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original paper as defined in the Check 21 Act.
