Salem Co-operative Bank Mobile Deposits
Salem Co-operative Bank offers Mobile Deposit as a simple way to deposit into certain Salem Co-operative Bank accounts using your mobile device camera. To use Mobile Deposit, you must be a Salem Co- operative Bank account holder and have agreed to the Digital Banking Access Agreement. You may transmit deposits to us electronically only from a mobile capture device located in the United States. Digital Banking users over the age of 18 can use Mobile Deposit. This service is available to users with an iPhone or Android and the Salem Co-operative Bank Mobile Deposit App which can be found at either the Apple AppStore or Google Play.
A. Definitions
Mobile Remote Deposit refers to your deposit of a Qualifying Item to the Account by taking pictures of the Qualifying Item and sending the pictures to us through our mobile banking app, as agreed in the Remote Deposit and Mobile Remote Deposit Requirements section below, rather than by providing us with the paper original.
Banking Day refers to a business day on which we are open to the public for substantially all of our banking functions.
Business Day refers to a calendar day other than Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday.
B. Mobile Remote Deposit Requirements
You have applied for the Mobile Remote Deposit service and understand that you must be approved by us to use the Mobile Remote Deposit service before we will accept any Mobile Remote Deposit transactions. You agree that for each Mobile Remote Deposit you will indorse the paper original and write “For mobile remote deposit only,” along with our name by the indorsement, and then take a clear and accurate picture of both sides of the Qualifying Item and send the pictures to us through our mobile banking app, rather than by providing us with the paper original.
Once you have been approved by us, you can make Mobile Remote Deposits if, but only if, you satisfy all the applicable Mobile Remote Deposit Requirements, Software Requirements, Image Quality Requirements, and other requirements of this Agreement. If any of the applicable requirements for your Mobile Remote Deposit are not met for any deposit, we may reject the deposit. If we reject a deposit because you failed to comply with any of the applicable requirements of this Agreement, you agree that you will be liable for any losses, costs, fees, expenses, and damages related to the rejected deposit(s).
C. Software Requirements
For Mobile Remote Deposits, you will use our mobile banking app. You will keep your mobile device updated with the latest software, including security patches. You also agree not to share your password to our mobile banking app with anyone who is not an owner of the Account. Accessing our mobile banking app with your mobile device may incur fees from your internet or cellular service provider. We are not responsible for any fees your internet or cellular service provider charges, nor are we responsible for any failures to connect to or transmit data to the mobile banking app due to lack of service by your internet or cellular service provider.
D. Image Quality Requirements
The images of Qualifying Items you send us will be sufficiently inclusive and high quality to permit us to satisfy all pertinent requirements of the following: the Check 21 Act; all related laws or regulations; all other state or federal laws and regulations; The American National Standards Institute; The Electronic Check Clearing House Organization; and all other clearing houses or associations.
E. Mobile Remote Deposit Limits
The total number of Qualifying Items that can be transmitted to us under this Agreement is unlimited. Only one check per deposit can be processed through Mobile Deposit.
F. Receipt Deadline
The deadline (Receipt Deadline) for our receipt of Mobile Remote Deposits is 3:45 PM on a Banking Day. Any Mobile Remote Deposits not received on a Banking Day or not received in their entirety by the Receipt Deadline on a Banking Day will be considered to have been received on the next Banking Day.
G. Acceptance or Rejection Deadline
The deadline (Acceptance or Rejection Deadline) for our sending you either acceptances for deposit or rejections with respect to Qualifying Items included in your Mobile Remote Deposits is within two business days after we receive the Mobile Remote Deposits. We will send you acceptances for deposit or rejections via our mobile banking app, and they will be effective when sent whether or not they are received by you. Such acceptances for deposit or rejections will reasonably identify each of the Qualifying Items accepted and each of the Qualifying Items rejected.
If we do not send you either an acceptance for deposit or a rejection with respect to a Qualifying Item included in a received Mobile Remote Deposit by the Acceptance or Rejection Deadline, the Qualifying Item will automatically be (accepted for deposit/rejected).
H. Retention/Destruction of Original Items
You will retain, preserve, and keep secure the paper original of each Qualifying Item included in a Mobile Remote Deposit until it is accepted by us. You will destroy (e.g. shred) the paper original immediately after it is accepted by us. You will destroy the electronic image(s) on your mobile or other devices of each Qualifying Item immediately after it is sent to us. We have the right to inspect the paper original of a Qualifying Item at any time before accepting the deposit. If we choose to inspect the paper original of a Qualifying Item, you will have 2 days to present the paper original of the Qualifying Item to us at one of our branch locations or to mail the paper original of the Qualifying Item to us at 3 South Broadway, Salem, NH, 03079.
