Mobile Remote Deposit Capture
Remote Deposit is a convenient, secure and free service offered by Bluestone Bank for depositing checks electronically. From any location, using the Bluestone Mobile App and the camera of your smart phone, you can make digital images of your checks and deposit them to your checking or savings account by transmitting them to the bank electronically.
Mobile remote deposit allows you to deposit your checks without having to visit a branch. Using the ‘Check Deposit’ service within the Bluestone Mobile App, you will take pictures of the front and back of your check and transmit them to the bank. Once transmitted and approved by the bank, the funds will be deposited to your account.
Mobile remote deposit capture is available for Apple iPhones/iPads and Android smartphones through our Bluestone Mobile app. You must have a checking, statement savings or statement money market account that has been open for 30 days or more. Your account must be in good standing in order to make deposits through the mobile remote deposit service.
