“We continue to see customers choose channels such as mobile to manage their finances. The enhancements we’ve made since introducing mobile banking four years ago — including the introduction of mobile deposit — reflect this shift in consumer preference and expectations,” said Larry McClanahan, director of digital delivery for Fifth Third, in a statement.
To use the mobile deposit service, customers need to update or download the Fifth Third Mobile Banking application, the company said. Customers then choose the “Deposit Check” icon, take a photo of the front and back of the check, choose the account to deposit the check and confirm the amount. A confirmation will display once the item is accepted.
Customers can do a mobile deposit until 8 p.m. Eastern time to process the check the same day, Fifth Third said.
Fifth Third launched mobile banking in 2009. More information is online at www.53.com/mobilebanking.
