Is there a fee to use Personal Mobile Deposit?
Columbia Bank does not charge a fee for the service, however a mobile carrier's web access, data or text messaging fees may apply.
Are there limits to the types of checks that are accepted?
All checks deposited through Personal Mobile Deposit must be in US dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank, which include: personal checks, business checks, and cashier’s checks.
Is there a daily deposit limit?
Yes, there is a daily deposit limit. Mobile deposit limits fluctuate over time and may not be the same for every account. Some of the determining factors include the length of time your account has been opened, whether your account is in good standing and has transaction activity. As your relationship with us grows, your deposit limits have the opportunity to increase. Multiple deposits can be made in one business day so long as those checks do not exceed the daily limit for your account. If a deposit exceeds your daily limit, the deposit may be rejected. Please contact your branch or Client Care at 1-877-272-3678 with questions surrounding your daily deposit limit.
What is the cut-off time for same-day deposits?
Deposits will appear in your account once they have been accepted. Deposits not received and accepted by 6pm PT on a business day will be processed the next business day. The receipt and acceptance process can occur within minutes or may be delayed due to connectivity or other technical issues. Deposits initiated at or shortly before 6pm PT on a business day are at risk of delay until the next business day due to insufficient receipt and acceptance lead time.
How soon will funds be available?
When a check has been successfully submitted to the bank, the deposit will appear as "pending" in the mobile deposit history within the app. Funds will be available the next business day after the deposit status changes to "accepted" in the app.
How do I view pending mobile deposits?
Mobile deposits will not appear in your pending transactions within Columbia Connect until the morning after the deposit has been accepted by the bank, which is typically the next business day if the mobile deposit was made prior to 6pm PT. You may immediately view all of your mobile deposit history within the Columbia Connect app by clicking on the "Deposits" menu item and selecting "View Deposit History". This screen will provide you with all of your pending, accepted and failed mobile deposit history.
What happens if there is an issue with my deposit?
If there is an issue with the check or the submission, the deposit will appear as failed on your mobile device and you will receive an email from us.
How long should I keep the physical check I deposited?
Checks deposited through Personal Mobile Deposit should be securely stored for at least 60 days from the date of deposit, and should be properly destroyed no later than 90 days from the date of deposit.
How secure is Personal Mobile Deposit?
Personal Mobile Deposit offers the same level of security as Columbia Connect. For added protection, images of your checks are stored at the bank and not on your mobile device.
