The Peoples Bank allows you to deposit a check using your mobile device, instead of bringing the check to the Bank.
Qualification
You must be an account owner or authorized signer on The Peoples Bank account that is eligible for this service and approved by The Peoples Bank.
Conditions
You must maintain your account in good standing and comply with requirements and restrictions set forth in these Terms and Conditions, as well as those of the Deposit Account Agreement.
Eligible Checks
Mobile Remote Capture allows you to deposit most US consumer and business checks; however certain checks are not available for deposit through mobile deposit capture. These items include but are not limited to: third party checks, foreign checks, substitute checks, government bonds, and checks payable in a currency other than U.S. dollars, U.S., state or other savings bonds.
Inspecting Checks and Check Images
- You are responsible for inspecting both the physical check and the check images as they appear on the screen of your mobile device. You must manually examine checks prior to transmission to the Bank to verify the authenticity.
- You are required to examine the images to ensure the payee name, amount, signature and other important pieces of information are legible and in accordance to the physical check.
- Any check items that remain illegible after repeated scanning/photographing attempts must be physically deposited at a branch.
MICR Lines on the Check
The bottom of your check contains numeric information that identifies the bank the check is drawn on, the account number, and the check number. This information is known as the MICR line. A MICR defect, such as a tear in the MICR line or marking over the line may inhibit the scanner or mobile phone’s ability to read this information. If you receive an error message indicating that the mobile phone is unable to read the MICR line, the check with defects in the MICR line must be deposited at a branch.
Endorsing the Check
To help ensure that an electronically deposited check is not processed multiple times, The Peoples Bank requires you write the words “For Mobile Deposit Only at The Peoples Bank” underneath your signature on the back of the check. The Peoples Bank may refuse to accept items which are not endorsed in this manner.
Checks safekeeping, Retention and Destruction
Check storage and destruction of items processed through mobile deposit capture is your responsibility because the paper check is never physically deposited at the Bank. To help ensure that checks are not electronically processed more than once or physically deposited to the Bank after being electronically deposited, procedures should be established to ensure that you or another account owner have access to these checks during the retention period.
The Peoples Bank recommends retention of the checks for at least 60 business days after the deposit is made in case a check is returned and you need to collect on the check by re-depositing the original item. All items must be destroyed as soon as possible after the retention time. If you believe you have deposited a check more than once, please contact The Peoples Bank at (270)965-3188 or (270)629-5626. DO not rescan the item. The Peoples Bank will provide assistance in determining the best approach for managing the situation.
Deposit Amount Limits
A blanket deposit amount limit has been set for all customers for $3,000 per item. This amount may vary at the sole discretion of the Bank based on customer standing.
Processing Your Electronic Item(s)/Availability of Funds
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. If you transmit your Electronic item(s) to The Peoples Bank before 3:00pm Central Time on any business day, we shall review and process your electronic item(s) on that business day. If you transmit your item(s) after 3:00pm in any business day, we shall review and process your electronic item(s) on the next business day. Your item(s) is deemed to have been received by the Bank when the service generates a confirmation message. Details on the status of the deposit should be reviewed on the “Deposits” page of the app.
Exception Items
It is at the Bank’s sole discretion to review and reject any item ineligible to be processed as an Electronic Item. Such items are referred to as “Exception Items”. An “Exception” includes, but not limited to, illegible or contains MICR data that is not machine-readable, was previously deposited as an Electronic Item, drawn on a bank outside of the U.S. and not payable at or through a bank in the U.S. You will be responsible for accessing the “Deposit” screen of the app to determine that status of your deposit. If you wish to attempt to deposit any Exception Item to your account, you shall only do so by depositing the paper item.
Chargebacks
All checks posted to your account through Mobile Remote Deposit are posted subject to our receipt of final payment by the paying bank. Upon receipt of final payment, the item becomes a collected item. If final payment is not received or if any item you have deposited charged back to us for any reason, you authorize us to charge any of your accounts without prior notice and at any time, for the amount of the returned item, our return fee, any interest paid on that item, and any other fee we may incur. We reserve the right to refuse any item for deposit into your account as well as the right to withhold the availability of funds as per the Deposit Account Agreement. Details of the status of your deposit should be viewed in the Deposits Page of the app.
Deposits to the Account
Subject to our right to identify and reject Exception Items, we shall be deemed to have accepted each Electronic Item that is not an Exception Item for deposit to the account on the business day (Monday-Friday) that we process the Electronic Item, provided its transmission to us is complete prior to 3:00 pm (Excluding Holidays).
Customer Deposit Item Review
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCESSING THE DEPOSITS SCREEN, TO ENSURE YOUR CHECK HAS PROCESSED COMPLETELY. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY OTHER TYPE OF NOTIFICATION REGARDING STATUS OF YOUR DEPOSIT OUTSIDE OF THE DEPOSITS SCREEN WITHIN THE BANK’S MOBILE APP. ON THE DEPOSIT REVIEW SCREEN YOU WILL VIEW PROCESSED ELECTRONIC ITEMS AS WELL AS EXCEPTION ITEMS.

Description of Mobile Banking Services
Internal Account Transfers
Transfers can be made in 2 ways, on a 1-time basis. One-time transfers may be immediate or scheduled for a future date. Account transfers are currently available for transferring between The Peoples Bank checking and savings accounts.
Transfers from a deposit account are immediately reflected in the account’s available balance under normal circumstances. However, system availability may cause some transactions to not be immediately posted in the available balance. Scheduled transfers will be processed from the funding account at the beginning of the business day requested.
Transfers made after 4:00 p.m. are part of the available balance and may be used for ATM/debit card transactions.
Limitations, Dollar Amounts, Payment Authorization and Sufficient Available Funds for Transfers and Payments
Transfers and Payments made using MOBILE Banking are subject to the following limitations:
Bill payments should not be for more than the available balance in the account. If enough funds are not available to process a bill payment, we will complete the transaction and overdraw the account. A returned item, overdraft, or similar fee will be charged according to the latest fee schedule supplied to you. Repeated or large overdrafts due to bill payments will result in the bill payment service being disabled.
One-time immediate or scheduled transfers between linked The Peoples Bank accounts are subject to transfer limits determined by the customer and on record at the bank. Transfers will not process if for more than the available balance in the funding account. Please contact the bank to add transfer capabilities or to change the limits.
You authorize The Peoples Bank to withdraw, debit or charge the necessary funds from your designated account in order to complete all of your designated transfers and payments. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your accounts at the time of the withdrawal.
Please refer to the Internet Banking Agreement and Disclosure that you accepted for additional information regarding the operation of Bill Pay.

Transfers From Money Market Deposit and Savings Accounts
Federal regulations and the deposit agreement impose limits on the number of certain types of withdrawals and transfers you can make each month from a savings and money market deposit account. The maximum withdrawals or transfers on all types of Savings and Money Market Accounts is six (6) per monthly statement cycle (each month for savings accounts with a quarterly statement cycle) when made by check, draft/ACH, debit card, internet/mobile/phone transfers, or for covering overdrafts. If you exceed these limits on more than an occasional basis, you will be notified and we will convert your account to another type of account. Each transfer through the Mobile Banking Services from your savings or money market deposit account is counted as one of the six limited transfers you are permitted each statement period. You cannot use a savings or money market deposit account as your bill payment account because of these limits on transfers. Please review the deposit agreement for your account for more information.
Contact by The Peoples Bank or Affiliated Parties
No The Peoples Bank or Payee employee, nor any company affiliated with The Peoples Bank mobile will contact you via email or phone requesting your mobile ID or mobile passcode. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, please contact us immediately.

Limitation of Liability for Mobile Banking Transactions
Tell us at once if you believe your Mobile Banking passcode has been compromised or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission. The best way to minimize your loss is to call us immediately. The unauthorized use of your Mobile Banking Services could cause you to lose all of your money in your accounts.
You will have no liability for unauthorized transactions if you notify us within 60 days after the statement showing the transaction has been mailed to you. If you do not, you may not get back any of the money you lost from any unauthorized transaction that occurs after the close of the 60-day period. When you give someone your Mobile Banking ID and passcode, you are authorizing that person to use your service, and you are responsible for all transactions that person performs while using your service. All transactions that person performs, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions. Transactions that you or someone acting with you initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions.
For your protection, sign off after every mobile Banking session.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
If we do not complete a transaction to or from your account on time, or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. For instance, we will not be liable:
If, through no fault of ours, you don’t have enough available funds in your account to cover the transaction or transfer
If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevented the transaction or transfer, despite reasonable precautions we’ve taken
If there are postal delays or processing delays by the Payee
There may be other exceptions not specifically mentioned.
