What is Remote Deposit?

Remote Deposit allows Southern Community Bank’s commercial customers to deposit checks from the convenience of their office. With Remote Deposit, you can now scan and electronically deposit all forms of paper checks. This includes commercial, cashiers and personal checks as well as money orders.

How does Remote Deposit work?

• With a desktop scanner and software, you create an image of the front and back of each check for deposit.
• Before transmitting the deposit, you balance the deposit dollar amount to the sum of the checks, ensuring accuracy and reducing the chance of adjustments.
