Tech advice you can trust™ |
Quick tip of the dayDo you remember the last time you set foot in a bank? I can’t remember, either. Handling our money matters online is so convenient, but you still have to watch out for a huge mistake when depositing checks from your smartphone. Sure, it’s easy to take the photos and wait for the “processing” message, and then you’re good to go, right? Don’t write it off just yet. Don’t get rid of that paper check immediately. The time it takes for a deposit to clear can vary based on factors like the amount, how long you’ve been with the bank and the status of the payer’s account.Set a reminder for 14 days after the deposit. Just use your favorite reminder app to set it up, then put that paper check in a safe place while you wait.Once it clears, don’t just throw it away. Shred it so sensitive account details aren’t at risk of falling into the wrong hands.💸 Check out more about this big online banking mistake here.
