All images are reviewed for clarity and completeness. If an error is detected, the service will prompt you to retake the photo. Follow these tips to help ensure a good photo is taken:

• Use an area that is well-lit to prevent shadows

• Place the check on a dark surface

• Keep your hands clear of the check

• Remove objects or other items from view

• Make sure all four corners of the check are visible. Use the guides built into the App to help you line up the picture

• Position the camera directly above the check
