- Place the check on a dark surface.
- Make sure the check is clearly visible – no other objects or shadows interfere and all 4 corners of the check are evident.
- Be sure your camera has a chance to focus on the image, being too close can make the check image blurry.
- The signature on the check must not go into the encoded numbers on the bottom of the check.

Should I endorse my check if I use Mobile Check Deposit?

Is electronically depositing a check safe and secure?
Yes, the online transmission of checks via Mobile Check Deposit is secured through a secure SSL encrypted browser session. You should always protect your login and password for Mobile Banking as you would your login information for any other online banking services. We also recommend that you utilize the security features provided on your mobile device, such as creating a password protected lock.
What should I do if I lose my mobile device?
Although you may save your User ID on your mobile device, we never save or store your password. If your mobile device is lost or stolen, you should log into your Online Banking account on your computer and immediately change your password. We also recommend that you utilize the security features in your mobile device, such as turning on the Auto-Lock and Passcode Lock functions.
How will I know when my deposit is complete?
You will immediately receive a confirmation message on your phone when a deposit(s) has been successfully transmitted for processing or when your deposit(s) has been rejected. If your deposit is rejected, we recommend that you take another picture of the check to ensure the image is clear. Confirmation or rejection messages will come through from the following email address: [info@aseanfinco.com]
I just tried to make a deposit using Mobile Check Deposit, but I didn’t receive confirmation that it was accepted or rejected?
Check your “Spam” or “Junk Email” folder. Since your email provider may not recognize the email [info@aseanfinco.com] sender, for security reasons it could be routed to your Spam or Junk Email folder. If that’s what is happening, we recommend that you contact your email provider to find out how to add [info@aseanfinco.com] as an acceptable email address so you can receive the confirmation/rejection directly from us in your Inbox.
Why did I receive a message that my deposit(s) was rejected?
Your deposit may be rejected due to the image of the check being blurry, the information entered does not match the information on the check or you did not properly endorse the back of the check. If that occurs, please try taking another picture of the check and resubmitting. Also, you may have reached the maximum daily or monthly deposits limits you can make.
What do I do with the checks once I have deposited them electronically?
You should mark them as being electronically deposited (to prevent mistakenly depositing the check again) and store them securely for 14 days. After that, the check should be shredded and disposed of properly to prevent IT or misuse.
I forgot my password, can I have it reset?
Yes, and don’t worry. You can call the Contact Center at +85281911927 and they can reset this for you. Or, if you have supplied an e-mail address, the password auto-recover feature to reset your password is available to you.
