Frequently Asked Questions
 
 

What is Online Deposits?
Online Deposits puts ultimate convenience at your fingertips by allowing you to submit check deposits online 24/7 and giving you instant access to those funds! No more waiting to get to a Service Center or ATM. No more waiting for checks to clear. No more waiting – period!  Back to top

How does Online Deposits work?
Just make your deposit online and be sure we receive your checks via mail within five (5) business days of your online transaction. We’ll credit your account immediately, so the funds will be available for you to pay your bills online, write checks, withdraw as cash, or transfer to other accounts the moment you complete your deposit. Plus, postage-paid Online Deposits envelopes are available to save you the cost of a stamp and help ensure that we receive your checks on time.  Back to top

How much can I deposit?
The maximum Available Deposit Amount for Online Deposits varies by member and is determined by length of relationship, creditworthiness and other relationship factors. At any given time, you are able to deposit this amount minus any pending Online Deposits. You will see your Available Deposit Amount when you access the service online. As we receive and process your checks toward pending deposits, your Available Deposit Amount will replenish itself.  Back to top

How many checks am I able to deposit at one time?
You may submit up to 10 checks per deposit, provided their total does not exceed your Available Deposit Amount. There is no limit to the number of deposits you can make, again, provided you do not exceed your Available Deposit Amount.  Back to top

How many days do I have to submit my checks after I complete my deposit online?
We must receive your checks within five (5) business days of the online transaction date. 
Back to top

How do I access Online Deposits?
Access is easy! Just log in to Online Banking and look for the Online Deposits tab on the left side panel under Account Access.  Back to top

Is Online Deposits available to all members?
Some members may not qualify to use Online Deposits. For instance, you must be a member for 30 days or more to be eligible. For complete eligibility criteria see the Online Deposits Terms & Conditions. If you log into Online Banking and the Online Deposits tab is not available under Account Access, you are not eligible for the service. Eligibility may vary from day to day.  Back to top

What do I need in order to use Online Deposits?
You will need a valid e-mail address, which will be confirmed when you register. You will also need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer and be connected to a printer. (If you do not have Adobe Reader you can access a free download at adobe.com.) Once you complete your submission online, a Deposit Receipt will be generated automatically. It is required that you print this receipt and mail it to us along with your checks.  Back to top

Will I be able to use Online Deposits immediately upon registering?
Yes. As soon as you accept the Terms & Conditions and confirm your e-mail address you will be able to use the service.  Back to top

Where do I get postage-paid Online Deposits envelopes?
A starter supply of envelopes will be sent to you automatically when you register. You may also order a supply of envelopes right from Online Deposits with the click of a button, pick some up at any QFCU Service Center or call (800) 874-5544.  Back to top

Can I use the service if I don’t have an Online Deposits envelope?
It is highly recommended that you use our postage-paid envelopes to ensure that your checks are received on time and processed properly. However, if you need to send checks and do not have an Online Deposits envelope, please address your envelope exactly as follows:

How many accounts (suffixes) can I deposit to at one time?
You may only deposit funds to one account (suffix) at a time.  Back to top

What happens to my account if the Credit Union does not receive my checks on time?
Your account will be debited the amount of the deposit and a late fee will be charged. Refer to the Fee Schedule for current fee amounts. This adjustment will also count as an infraction (see What is an infraction?).  Back to top

What is an adjustment?
An adjustment is a correction or reversal made to your account when the checks received by the Credit Union do not match what was entered into Online Deposits, and/or the checks are late or are never received. If an adjustment is required, your account will be charged a fee. Refer to the Fee Schedule for current fee amounts.

The following examples would require an adjustment to your account:

  • You forget to include the check(s) in your envelope
  • The check amount does not match the amount on your Deposit Receipt
  • You send us extra checks or not enough checks
  • Check received is drawn on a foreign institution
Note: Adjustments to your account will incur an Online Deposits infraction.  Back to top

What is an infraction?
An infraction is a penalty imposed for incorrect or inappropriate usage of Online Deposits that necessitates an account adjustment and/or delays the processing of your deposit.
In addition to the above adjustment examples, infractions may also be incurred for:

  • Failing to submit your Online Deposits Receipt with your checks
  • Failing to address your envelope properly when a pre-printed Online Deposits envelope is not used

    Back to top

How many infractions am I allowed before I am no longer able to use Online Deposits?
If you accumulate three (3) infractions, you will no longer be eligible for Online Deposits and the service will be removed from your Account Access options. The Credit Union also reserves the right to restrict you from using Online Deposits at any time due to misuse of the service. See the Online Deposits Terms & Conditions for more information.  Back to top

Will I receive notification if I incur an infraction?
You will receive an e-mail notification if an adjustment is made to your account. The e-mail will refer you to Online Banking to review your account for the adjustment information.  Back to top

Can I submit my checks at a Service Center, ATM or QFCU kiosk to ensure that my deposit is received within five business days?
Online Deposits must be processed by the appropriate department at our Administrative Headquarters, and should be mailed as instructed. Attempting to deposit checks toward your online deposit via Service Center, ATM or kiosk will most likely result in one or more adjustments to your account, infractions and subsequent feesBack to top

Can I deposit third-party checks via Online Deposits?
Yes, but as always, all parties must properly endorse these checks.  Back to top

Will Online Deposits accept stale-dated or post-dated checks?
No. The check entry system will verify check dates. If a date is more than six (6) months old or beyond the current date, an error message will appear and you will be required to edit the information or delete the check entry.  Back to top

If I have two checks from two different makers that happen to have the same check number and the same dollar amount, will the Online Deposits system reject the entries?
No. The system will accept both checks without generating an error.  Back to top

What do the different Online Deposits statuses mean?

  • PENDING – Your deposit has been accepted and the credit has been posted to your account. We have not yet received your checks.
  • REVERSED – The deposit amount has been reversed from your account because your checks were not received within the five (5) business day limit.
  • RECONCILED – Your checks were received and an adjustment to your account was required. This adjustment means you have incurred an Online Deposits infraction and a fee has been charged to your account.
  • RECEIVED – Your checks were received on time and your online transaction was accurate, requiring no adjustments.
