Make a Mobile Check Deposit
In this guide, we aim to demonstrate how to deposit a check using Mazlo on your desktop. You can also deposit a check directly from Mazlo's mobile app.
Introduction
On Mazlo, you can deposit a check directly into your project account if the check is made out to your fiscal sponsor or the name of your project (or the account name in Mazlo). While you deposit the check, you can tag the donor's contact profile and select the revenue code or project code to classify the type of income it is.
Review the Check Standards
Remember to follow these check standards when using remote check deposit:
Endorse the check with 'For mobile deposit at Regent Bank.'
Sign the back of the check in the endorsement box.
Check the box for mobile deposit, if requested in the endorsement box.
Ensure the images of the check are clear and all four corners of the check are visible and in-focus.
Ensure the check is made out to the Organization (Fiscal Sponsor) or the Project's name (must match the account name in Mazlo).
Ensure the check is less than 180 days old.
Ensure the check is not a money order. Money orders are not accepted by Regent Bank via Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) due to their potential fraud risk.
