I have been a USAA customer for close to 20 years now. When I first started banking with USAA, I had to mail checks into their HQ, which is located in San Antonio, TX. The turnaround time between depositing a check via mail and the time the check was credited to my bank account could be anywhere from a few days to well over a week, depending on when the check was mailed, and from where.

USAA is an organization founded by military members for military members and we understand the unique needs of U.S. Military servicemen and women and their families. With just a few clicks, you can. Services as 'For mobile deposit at USAA FSB account number' or as otherwise instructed by USAA. You agree nyto follow a and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Services as USAA may establish from time to time.

Thankfully, USAA has done a lot to improve the process of depositing checks. In fact, USAA pioneered the digital check deposit process, first with checks that were scanned and uploaded to a secured platform on the USAA website (Deposit @ Home), and later with Deposit @ Mobile, which allows users to simply log into their USAA app on their smartphone or tablet, snap a photo of the front and back of the signed and endorsed check, and deposit the check to their bank account.

This is an incredibly easy and smooth process. And in many cases, the check, or at least a portion of it, is available immediately.

USAA Deposit @ Mobile has revolutionized the way I and hundreds of thousands of their customers do their banking. The same process has also been adopted by countless other banks that now offer check deposits via their smartphone and tablet apps.

How Deposit @ Mobile Works

The first thing you need to do is download the USAA app to your smartphone or tablet. I currently use an Android phone, but the process works the same across Android an Apple (iOS) devices.

USAA Android App

The Android app is a great way to access your USAA account while at home or on the go. In fact, I currently use the app to access my USAA account more frequently than booting up my computer.

It’s faster and the app is streamlined, giving users the ability to access their general account, pay bills, transfer funds, start an insurance claim, access USAA Auto Circle and USAA Home Circle, and my new favorite, USAA [email protected], which gives you the ability to deposit a check with your cell phone.

USAA [email protected] on Android

USAA already offers this feature for home computers under the name [email protected] The premise is the same. With the home version, you scan the front and back your check (after you endorse it with your signature and account number). Then you send the scanned photo and amount of the check and the USAA software verifies the information on the check and deposits it into your account. The process is quick and much faster than mailing the check to USAA, since the funds are usually available the same day.

But believe it or not, USAA [email protected] is even faster and easier than [email protected] since it basically removes a step from the process. Instead of having to scan the check, then save and upload the photo to your USAA account, you simply take a picture of the front of your check, then endorse the back of the check, take another picture, then click submit. USAA then informs you whether or not the picture quality was good enough and whether or not it was accepted.

The first time I tried I didn’t have the check on a dark background and I had to take another picture (this was clearly stated in the instructions. I just used a medium color background). I didn’t have any troubles after I switched to a dark background.

What to Do With the Check After You Deposit via a Mobile App

Once your deposit is accepted you will receive a confirmation number and your funds will be available to you. Users are also instructed to write VOID across the front of the check, using large lettering, or to destroy the check.

I usually write the confirmation number in small letters on the bottom of the front of the check, then wait a few weeks to verify there were no issues with the deposit. Every few weeks, I will destroy the checks to ensure there aren’t any old checks lying around. That could become a security issue, since checks contain the check writer’s bank account number, name, and address.

Here is the main difference between USAA [email protected] and [email protected]: with [email protected] you will have a digital copy of your check. It’s probably a good idea to keep a copy of these for your records. With USAA [email protected], your phone doesn’t keep a record of the photo. Since the photo isn’t stored, you need to either take another photo, scan it into your computer, or keep a physical copy if you want to maintain a copy for your records.

USAA Deposit @ Mobile Eligibility:

A couple of notes about USAA [email protected] and [email protected]: Not all USAA members are eligible for [email protected] and [email protected] You must have a USAA checking or savings account and:

• Have an active USAA property and casualty insurance policy and be qualified for a USAA loan or credit card (not a USAA Secured Card), OR
• Be eligible for USAA property and casualty insurance and have an active USAA loan or credit card (not a USAA Secured Card).

Daily Deposit Limits

Contact USAA to verify your eligibility, as well as your daily deposit limit. Most daily deposit limits start small. But they may increase over time, based on the number and type of accounts you have with USAA, your credit history and history with USAA, and other factors.

I have heard of some people being able to deposit up to $100,000 per day. However, there may be a hold placed on a portion of the funds for larger deposits. In addition, I do not believe a $100,000 daily deposit limit is the standard. For larger deposits, you would most likely need to do an ACH or wire transfer.

Supporting Hardware

In addition to meeting eligibility requirements, you will need to have an iPhone or iPad, or an Android capable phone or tablet with the right hardware.

You can download the USAA apps here:

• USAA Mobile App for Android.
• USAA Mobile App for iPhone.

USAA also offers apps for the iPad, Windows 10, Blackberry, and other platforms.

Overall, I’m more than pleased with the USAA Android App, and I’m seriously loving the [email protected] feature. It simplifies my banking life and makes my money available to me more quickly. Win-win-win.

Insurer and financial-services provider United Services Automobile Association on Wednesday asked a federal court to dismiss a request by mobile remote deposit capture technology developer Mitek Systems Inc. for a declaratory judgment that Mitek’s technology does not infringe on four USAA patents.

San Antonio, Texas-based USAA’s dismissal request came less than a week after a jury awarded the company $102 million in damages from Wells Fargo & Co. at the end of a trial in which it determined Wells had infringed on two of USAA’s mobile-capture patents. That award, made in U.S. District Court in Marshall, Texas, came about two months after USAA won $200 million from Wells in a separate patent-infringement trial involving two other mobile-capture patents.

Although it was not a party to either of the USAA-Wells Fargo lawsuits, the litigation was of great concern to San Diego-based Mitek, the leading vendor in the mobile-capture industry, with its software used by thousands of financial institutions. Both USAA and Mitek are mobile-capture pioneers, with Mitek rolling out its first such software product in 2008. USAA developed mobile-capture software to serve its widely dispersed military customer base. Both companies had fought in court before over mobile-capture patents, but settled in 2014.

Citing its early development of mobile-capture software, USAA indicated about two years ago that it wanted financial institutions to license its technology. USAA’s first big target was Wells, which it sued in June 2018 for alleged infringement of several of its patents. That case, also heard in the Marshall federal court, resulted in the $200 million damages award.

In August 2018, USAA filed its second lawsuit against Wells, resulting in the Jan. 10 verdict.

Noting its previous legal tussles with USAA and the widespread use of its software, Mitek named USAA as the defendant in a suit it filed Nov. 1 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco. Mitek said the purpose of the suit was to get a declaratory judgment that its technology does not infringe on four USAA patents.

In its dismissal motion, USAA accuses Mitek of “an extreme attempt at forum shopping,” saying the San Francisco federal court does not have so-called “subject-matter jurisdiction.” Plus, San Diego-based Mitek does not have any “particular connection” to the court’s jurisdiction, USAA claims. In the alternative, if it doesn’t dismiss the case, USAA asked the court to transfer it to the federal court in Marshall, Texas, where the underlying issues already have been extensively litigated.

It’s unclear when the court will rule on the motion. A Mitek spokesperson did not respond to a Digital Transactions News request for comment.

Meanwhile, San Francisco-based Wall Fargo says it disagrees with the latest jury verdict, but it hasn’t stated what it will do next.

“We believe this is an industry issue involving numerous other banks that license remote mobile deposit technology from the same vendor, not USAA,” a spokesperson for San Francisco-based Wells says by email. “We are considering our options based on the verdict and trial. Wells Fargo has been and continues to be a leader in enabling seamless payments and mobile-banking experiences, and this ruling has no impact on our customers’ ability to remotely deposit checks or the company’s work to provide innovative tools and technologies to our customers.”

Nathan McKinley, USAA vice president of corporate development, said in a statement that “this verdict further validates our position that we created mobile deposit capture technology. Wells Fargo, and the rest of the banking industry, has benefited from our technology and we look forward to working with banks to create reasonable and mutually beneficial license agreements. Our goal has always been to be reasonably compensated for the investment in mobile banking innovation we have made on behalf of our members and the military community.”
