We recommend 14 days.

What is the Tran ID?
A Tran ID is a confirmation that your deposit was accepted and will be subject to further review. See #9 for an explanation of a qualified deposit.
My check is endorsed. Why do I keep getting the error message “Endorsement Missing”?
Ensure your endorsement is done in blue or black ink and clearly visible.
When should I see my deposit?
- Qualified deposits made on a business day before 4pm EST will be visible by 9pm EST that night or shortly thereafter.
- Qualified deposits made after 4pm EST on a business day or weekend/holiday will be visible the following business day by 9pm EST or shortly thereafter.
- For example, a qualified mobile deposit made on Friday at 5pm EST will post to your account after 9pm EST on the following Monday. If Monday is a bank holiday then it would be Tuesday after 9pm EST.
What is a qualified deposit?

- Examples of non-qualified deposits are checks listed above in item #5, checks not properly endorsed, post or stale dated checks.
- We will contact you if a deposit is unqualified

Where can I find an image of checks deposited via Mobile?
You can see a history of your mobile deposited items by going to Banking Service Center >
Mobility > Mobile Check Deposit History.
Why can’t I deposit a check that was originally rejected by the system?
If you attempted a check deposit and it was rejected, there is a security setting to prevent duplicate submissions. You can make the deposit at any branch or by mail.
Why am I getting the message “Duplicate Check” when I have not deposited this check before?
If the check(s) previously deposited through your mobile services, share the same Account # and Check #, it cannot be processed as a mobile deposit a second time
I have updated my Cornerstone Bank Mobile app but I still can’t make a deposit.
Completely shut down and restart your mobile device and reattempt.
I have attempted taking several pictures but they keep rejecting.
- Check image cannot be captured with a white background or paper.
- The image background must be a different color than the check.
- Turn off flash.
- Older phones may no longer be compatible.
How do I determine if I have mobile view or full site view?
- If the screen does not appear to fit the screen on your device and the print is small, then you are most likely in full site view.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and you should have the option to “View Mobile Site”, select mobile view.
- If you switch to mobile view in our mobile app, you must first log out before switching back to full site view.
- You may also access our full site by opening your smartphone browser and entering www.cornerstonebank.com.
