Tips for depositing checks
- Ensure you have a dark background behind the check, this will help make sure the edges of the check are clear in the image
- Use the flash if you need to - it should turn on automatically if you're in low light
- Start farther away and move closer to the check, once the check is in position the photo will automatically be taken
