I Accept

How long until mobile deposit funds are available?

In some cases, a mobile check deposit can be available within just a few minutes of uploading the check into the mobile banking app. However, it usually takes around one business day for deposits to go through. Following instructions from the bank carefully regarding uploads can speed up the deposit timeline.

How long does it take for a check to clear Suncoast?

Funds from a check deposit at Suncoast Credit Union are typically available on the same business day. However, if you deposit a larger check, only the first $225 from your deposit will be available on the same business day. There will be a hold of at least one day placed on the rest of the funds.

Does Suncoast Credit Union have mobile deposit?

It's easy! Simply choose the amount to be deposited*, take a photo of the front and back of your check using your smartphone or tablet and confirm the deposit or review the transaction. For business members, you are eligible to begin using mobile deposits 60 days after opening your business account.
