How mobile deposit works

Explore these simple steps to deposit checks in minutes.

Nov 13, 2020 There is no limit on the amount you can deposit at a Wells Fargo ATM. Some ATMs have a limit on the number of bills or checks you can deposit in a single transaction, but this is based on the limitations of the ATM itself. You can always do multiple transactions to deposit the amount you want. I deposited a check for $7,000 and Wells Fargo Bank put a hold on it. Initially their representative told me if was due to insufficient funds. I spoke to the payor and their bank and they assured me the funds were sufficient and that Wells Fargo had already obtained the funds from their account.

1. Download the Wells Fargo Mobile app to your smartphone or tablet.

2. Sign on to your account.

3. Select Deposit in the bottom bar. Or, use the Deposit Checks shortcut.

1. Select an account from the Deposit to dropdown. If you have set up a default account, it will already be pre-selected.

2. If you want to create or change your default account, go to the Deposit to dropdown and select the account you want to make your default, then select Make this account my default.

1. Enter the check amount. Your account’s remaining daily and 30-day mobile deposit limit will also display on the screen.

2. Make sure the amount entered matches the amount on your check, and select Continue.

1. Sign the back of your check and write “For Mobile Deposit at Wells Fargo Bank Only” below your signature (or if available, check the box that reads: “Check here if mobile deposit”).

2. Take a photo of the front and back of your endorsed check. You can use the camera button to take the photo. For best results, use these photo tips:

• Place check on a dark-colored, plain surface that’s well lit.

• Position camera directly over the check (not angled).

• Fit all 4 corners inside the guides on your mobile device’s screen.

1. Make sure your deposit information is correct, then select Deposit.

2. You’ll get an on-screen confirmation and an email letting you know we’ve received your deposit.

3. After your deposit, write “mobile deposit” and the date on the front of the check. You should keep the check secure for 5 days before tearing it up.
