Deposits made to a Bank of America account are not available for immediate withdrawal. Unless a hold is placed, deposits on a business day before cutoff time will be processed that night and are generally available the next business day. To learn more about holds and how to avoid holds, visit the Deposit Holds FAQs.

Deposits made to a Bank of America account on a day that is not a business day (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) or after cutoff time on a business day will be processed for deposit on the next business day and generally available on the business day following the process date.

There is a monthly limit for Mobile Check Deposits and it's displayed when you select your deposit account. Once you've hit that limit, you can't deposit another check with the app until the limit is reset at the beginning of the next month.

Once you make a mobile check deposit, you can’t cancel processing. If you’ve made duplicate deposits, we will catch the error and let you know.

Once you've made your deposit, you'll get an email confirmation that we've received your deposit and are processing it. If there is any problem with the transaction, like insufficient funds or potential fraud, you'll receive a leter in the mail asking you to bring the check to a financial center to resolve the issue.
