FAQ
- Can I process a check without the internet?
Check scanning requires the internet for image validation via CheckSnap and for submitting the deposit. - Do I need to capture both the front and back of the check?
Both images are required for processing. - What if OCR gets the amount or check number wrong?
Both fields are editable on the confirmation screen. Tap the field to correct it manually. - Should the policyholder sign the back of the check before I scan it?
The back should be blank when scanned. If the check fails and needs reprocessing, a pre-signed check can't be retried digitally. - Do technicians need to verify their identity (Persona) to process checks?
Identity verification happens at the company level during onboarding. Individual technicians and project managers do not need to go through Persona. However, they must accept the terms confirmation for each deposit they initiate. - Why do I have to accept terms every time I deposit a check?
The per-transaction terms confirmation is a risk management requirement from Checkbook. It ensures the person initiating the deposit affirms the check details and payee information are accurate. This creates an audit trail and helps prevent misrepresentation. - What does "Requested" status mean?
Signature requests have been sent to payees but not everyone has signed yet. Use "Remind All Pending" to send a reminder. - Can I cancel a signature request after sending it?
Open the payment detail and tap "Cancel Request." This cancels for all recipients. - What's the processing fee?
2% of the check amount. - Q) What are the check limits?
$100,000 per check.
