Use mobile check deposit to deposit your checks remotely anytime and anywhere you are (US currency only). Mobile check deposit is offered by QuickBooks Checking and is subject to eligibility criteria. Your QuickBooks Checking account must be active and in good standing.

• Non-demand deposit account (post no debits)
• Credit card check
• Line of credit, home equity, or a brokerage check

Money was removed from your account

There are two reasons money is removed from your QuickBooks Checking account after you use mobile check deposit:

• The check writer’s issuing bank notified Intuit that the check was returned. If the funds were already deposited, Intuit will reverse the deposit. Contact the check writer.
• Your customer disputed the charge with their bank.

Problem with a check

We’ll email you if your check gets rejected or returned. If rejected, we’ll resubmit your check. If we’re still unable to process your check or if it’s returned, you’ll need to follow up with the check writer.

You can try and cash or deposit your check somewhere else.
