LAFCU Free Debit Card:
* To qualify for Mobile Check Deposit, you must have an online banking profile, and have either an Android-powered smartphone or iPhone and have installed the Mobile application. Your endorsement must include your signature and the words "For Mobile Deposit at LAFCU." If the back of the check is not properly endorsed, we reserve the right to reject the check for deposit. Our policy is to make funds from your check deposits available to you on the first (1st) business day after the day we receive your deposit. The total amount of deposits made (less any holds that apply according to our Funds Availability Policy, up to your available deposit limit), will be immediately credited to your account. In some cases, longer delays may apply and we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first (1st) business day after the day of your deposit. Mobile Deposits are subject to change and are limited based on your Relationship Rewards level at LAFCU.
