Remote Deposit Terms & Conditions

This Addendum (“Addendum”) sets forth the terms and conditions of SCE FCU’s Remote Deposit service for mobile devices (the “Service”) and is hereby incorporated into and is made part of the SCE FCU Membership Agreement and Disclosure. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Membership Agreement and Disclosure, the Addendum will govern. Use of this service, constitutes acceptance of the Terms and Conditions.

Remote Deposit (for mobile devices) – This service allows you to remotely deposit paper checks by electronically transmitting a digital image into eligible deposit accounts from a remote location via an application (the “App”) installed on your supported mobile device.

Use of Service – Upon receipt of the digital image, SCE FCU will review the image for acceptability. You understand and agree that receipt of an image does not occur until after we notify you of receipt of the image via email notification and/or once the deposit shows on the mobile Deposit History feature. You understand that, in the event you receive a notification from SCE FCU confirming receipt of an image, such notification does not mean that the image contains no errors or that SCE FCU is responsible for any information you transmit to SCE FCU. We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive. Following receipt of the image, we may process the image by preparing a “substitute check” or clearing the item as an image. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, SCE FCU reserves the right, within our sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for remote deposit into your Account. You understand any amount credited to your Account for items deposited using the Services is a provisional credit and you agree to indemnify SCE FCU against any loss you suffer because of our acceptance of the remotely deposited check.

Guarantee Specific to Deposits Received for Credit to a Business Account:

Your use of the Services for the purpose of depositing to a Business Account constitutes your understanding and agreement that you may be personally liable for any expenses SCE FCU incurs in attempting to obtain final payment for the item in question, outside of the routine costs associated with item processing, in the event of a default by the Business. This includes, but is not limited to recovery of the amount credited in the event of non-payment, collection costs and attorney’s fees as applicable, as well as any and all costs associated with SCE FCU enforcing this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall benefit SCE FCU and its successors and assigns.

You also agree that you will not engage in any activity directly or indirectly related to use of this product or service that is illegal or fraudulent. You promise to indemnify and hold SCE FCU harmless from any damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or other harm arising out of any violation thereof. This indemnity will survive termination of your Account and this Agreement.

Check Requirements – Any image of a check that you transmit to SCE FCU must accurately and legibly provide all the information on the front and back of the check at the time presented to you by the drawer. Prior to capturing the original check, you will endorse the back of the original check. Your endorsement will include your signature and the following information: Account Number, today’s date, and the words “for deposit at SCE FCU”. The image of the check transmitted to SCE FCU must accurately and legibly provide, among other things, the following information: (1) the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the check, including complete and accurate MICR information and the signature(s); and (2) other information placed on the check prior to the time an image of the check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check. The image quality for the check will meet the standards for image quality established by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.
