Check deposit is a key component to the functionality of the BBVA Compass Mobile Banking App.

Depositing checks is a common transaction for many, and one which can be done from wherever the customer might be, with the BBVA Compass Mobile Banking App. With mobile deposit via the app, customers can deposit their hard earned money anytime, anywhere. The app takes customers through the process, step-by-step, even helping snap the picture of the front and back of the check.

This technology has the potential “to add a lot of transparency, efficiency and immutability, and offers a wide array of other possible uses.”
