Endorsements and Procedures.  You agree to restrictively endorse any check transmitted through the Services as “For North Shore Bank Mobile Deposit Only” along with your signature/s or as otherwise instructed by the Bank.  When depositing a check made payable to a business, you agree to restrictively endorse any check transmitted through the Services as “For North Shore Bank Mobile Deposit Only” along with said business name.  This check may only be deposited into the business account the check is made payable to. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Services as the Bank may establish from time to time. Improper endorsement may result in rejected deposit.

Receipt of Check Images for Deposit. We reserve the right to reject any check image transmitted through the Services, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for check images we do not receive or for images that are dropped or become corrupted or illegible during transmission. All check images processed for deposit thru this Service are subject to our verification and final inspection by us.  Deposits received by 6:00 pm Central time (Cut-off time) on a Business Day* will be reviewed for acceptance on that Business Day. If you transmit your check image to us after the Cut-Off Time on any Business Day, we shall review and process your check image on the next Business Day. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to review and process your check image.  Receipt of confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error-free or complete, or that your Deposit Authorized Account will not be charged back for the amount of the deposit and any applicable returned deposited item or other fee under the Account Agreement if the check image presented is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason by the financial institution on which it is drawn.

There is currently no limit on the number of Deposit Transactions (Deposit Transactions: electronically submitted deposits via mobile deposit to your Deposit Authorized Account) you may initiate. However, we reserve the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of Deposit Transactions that you make using the Service and to modify such limits from time to time.  The current daily amount that can be deposited thru this Service on any one Business Day is $2,500.

Availability of Funds.  Funds deposited using the Services and received before 6 PM Central time on a Business Day will generally have next Business Day availability. 

Retention of Original Check. When the check image you have submitted to us for deposit has been credited to your Deposit Authorized Account, you must retain the physical check securely for a period of 60 days.  You must store the check securely, using precautions at least as secure as you would use to protect blank checks.  You must make the original paper check available to us at our request at any time.  If you fail to produce the original check within 10 days of our request during the 60 day period, you authorize us to deduct the amount in question for your Deposit Authorized Account, regardless of whether such deduction may result in a negative balance on your account and to pay any such associated fees.  At the expiration of the 60-day period, you must securely destroy the original paper check by cross shredding or another commercially reasonable means of destruction.

Presentment. The manner in which the checks and other transactions are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be in the Bank’s sole discretion, subject to the terms of your Account Agreement.
