Mobile Deposit was made to help you make your mobile checks quickly and easily. Here are some quick tips and tricks to make sure your deposits are done in a snap!
- Endorsement
Make sure you endorse the back of your Mobile Deposit checks. Digital deposits must be signed before acceptance. - “For mobile deposit only”
Make sure you write “For mobile deposit only” in the endorsement area of your check. Due to an amendment to “Regulation CC” passed by the Federal Reserve, all checks deposited through Mobile Deposit must contain this phrase or they may be rejected. The measure is intended to protect users from mobile check fraud. - Deposit “Accepted” vs. “Held for Review”
Watch for the message at the end of your Mobile Deposit session to see if your check was immediately accepted or held for review. Mobile Deposit uses sensitive image recognition software, and anytime it detects the slightest irregularity, it sends the image to be reviewed by a Unitus employee. - Deposit Verification
If your deposit is immediately accepted, your balance will update within minutes. If it is held for review, Unitus will verify the image and notify you by email within one business day whether the deposit has been accepted or whether the deposit should be resubmitted. If you wish to check your new balance via the Unitus mobile app, log out and log back into your account. - Contact Email
Notifications are sent to the prime email address for your account. Please make sure we have up-to-date contact info so we can communicate. - File Your Checks
When you’ve made a deposit via Mobile Deposit, file the check for 30 days for record-keeping purposes, and then you may shred it. To keep your records in order, we suggest writing the reference number on the item once you complete your Mobile Deposit session.
Remember, Mobile Deposit is a free service for members. Keep snapping those checks, and save yourself the time and hassle of making a special trip to the branch!

You can find the correctly formatted account number on the bottom of one of your Unitus checks. The first group of numbers on the left is the Unitus routing number. The next group of numbers is your account number.
For direct deposit, you’ll need a 14-digit number. To convert your Unitus checking account number into a correctly formatted 14-digit number, add “1” to the beginning, then add zeros between the “1” and your account number, as needed, to reach 14 digits. Here is an example:
Example account number: 199240616
This account number is 9 digits long, so we’ll add 1 plus four zeros to the front of the number to reach 14 digits: 10000199240616If you have questions, visit a branch or call our contact center at 503-227-5571 or 1-800-452-0900 to obtain the correctly formatted account number for direct deposit.

To ensure your payment is sent correctly, please provide Unitus with the most up-to-date information according to your most recent bill statement. When entering the payee’s information, keep in mind that each entry box is important.
- Payee Name: Refers to the payee’s business name. For example, AT&T, PGE, Waste Management, etc.
- Payee Nickname: Refers to what you choose to label this payee. This is especially helpful if there is more than one account held with a particular payee. You might label this payment “John’s Cell Phone” and another AT&T payment as “Marcia’s Cell Phone”, as the payments are going to the same payee, but the account numbers are different.
- Name on Account: Allows the merchant to post your payment correctly. If you’re sending a payment to AT&T for John’s cell phone payment, the Name on Account would be John’s full name for easy reference, such as “John Doe”.

For enhanced security, existing Digital Banking users are now encouraged to sign in with a user ID rather than their member account number.
User ID Setup Process
New Digital Banking users will set up their user IDs during the temporary password process, right before entering their permanent password. While using your account number instead of a User ID is currently possible, we strongly recommend you use a different User ID to keep your account number safe and secure.
Current Digital Banking users will be able to set up the account’s user ID by logging into Digital Banking and clicking the ‘Settings’ button located at the top-center of the menu bar on the Digital Banking home screen. The new displayed screen will have a ‘Set User ID’ link.
User ID Requirements:
- Minimum of 8 characters
- Maximum of 15 characters
- Cannot contain the member’s name, date of birth, social security number, or address
- Cannot contain special characters
Notes about your User ID:
- While Unitus doesn’t require you to have at least one number or at least one letter, it is highly recommended for security purposes.
- User IDs are not case-sensitive
- There is only one user ID per account
- While using your account number instead of a User ID is currently possible, we strongly recommend you use a different User ID to keep your account number safe and secure.

Our members have shared their feedback about the importance of their online banking safety, in response we’ve provided these additional layers of online banking security to Digital Banking:
- Similar to the existing Second Factor challenge questions members sometimes see when logging into Digital Banking, there may now be additional occasions when you will be presented with a challenge question, such as when you are changing your email address, setting up an initial ACH transfer or adding a new payee in your bill pay system.
- You can view and change your online banking security questions anytime by clicking the ‘Settings’ button located at the top-center of the menu bar on the Digital Banking home screen. Under the column ‘Settings’ select ‘Security Questions and Answers’.
- If you would prefer not to use the security question format to authenticate yourself when challenged, we have now added two new challenge options for you to choose from. You can either have a code sent to your email address on file or texted to your mobile phone. To register for texting, in the Digital Banking menu bar, hover over ‘Services’ and then select ‘uText’.

Click on ‘Manage Payees’ in the ‘Bill Pay’ sub-menu. The ‘Account Name’ column will display ‘C’ for check payments and ‘E’ for electronic payments.

We are suggesting that our members review their Digital Banking passwords to assure they are strong and are different from passwords used on other sites. It is a good idea to change passwords on a regular basis.
A helpful rule of thumb to use in creating strong passwords is to have at least 8 characters and use all 4 character groups:
- Lower case letters
- Upper case letters
- Numbers
- Special characters
You can change your password anytime by clicking the ‘Settings’ button located at the top-center of the menu bar on the Digital Banking home screen.
