What are some tips for taking a good photo of my check?
- Before taking a picture of the check, review the check to ensure all check information is clearly visible on the check in dark ink: amount, payee, signature of the check issuer, date, check number, MICR line, routing, and transit numbers.
- Smooth out the check so that it is free of wrinkles or curved-up edges
- Place check on a dark flat surface
- Hold the phone directly over the check ā this will avoid blurred areas common with photos taken at an angle
- Take the photo in a well-lit area, preferably without the use of flash
