Electronic Check Deposit at Any U.S. Bank

	For the first time ever, you can electronically deposit your checks to anywhere, from anywhere! Our new Check Deposit service can be used with any bank in the U.S.. It's available to both individuals and businesses and can be used with any type of checking account and with up to five different accounts (see our FAQ below for more details). Here’s how it works: We identify scanned mail that contains checks, and you view them in your ECM account and decide which ones to electronically deposit into one of your bank accounts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I sign up for Check Deposit?
Sign up for an Earth Class Mail account, selecting the Professional plan – which includes the option to add Check Deposit service. You'll be invited to enroll as soon as you've finished signing up.

If you're already on our current Professional plan, you can enroll for Check Deposit by logging in and clicking Settings, then Check Deposit, and following the on-screen instructions.

What are the requirements for enrolling in Check Deposit?
You must have an active bank account that's in good standing with a U.S. financial institution. You'll fill out an online form that asks for personal or business identification; this information will be validated and must be correct. The following types of businesses are not eligible for the new check-deposit service:

Check-cashing and other intermediary money-service businesses
Businesses that are primarily third-party resellers through eBay, Amazon, etc.
Businesses that are primarily telemarketing services
Unsavory or illegal businesses

How long does it take for funds to be deposited into my bank account?
Funds are typically available in your bank account within two business days, if you make the deposit request through the Earth Class Mail Web interface before 12:00 noon, Pacific Time.

If I deposit a check remotely and it bounces or turns out to be fraudulent, what happens?
It's no different than what would happen if you deposited it at the bank in person. If a check is returned, you'll typically be notified within 2-3 business days. You'll be charged a returned-check fee of $15, and will be able to have the check shipped to you or to pick it up if it's stored at one of our street addresses.
