Check Deposit

Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) allows banks and their customers to deposit checks electronically by capturing images of the checks and submitting them through a mobile device or scanner. Treasury Prime’s RDC API streamlines this process, enabling seamless integration of RDC functionality into your banking or financial application.

ℹ️

Note that the amount and timing of funds release varies by bank.

To make a check deposit, you need to capture the front and back images of the check and submit them along with the necessary deposit information using the POST /check_deposits endpoint. The API will process the deposit, update the associated account, and return the status of the deposit.

Required Fields

• Account ID: The unique identifier for the account where the check will be deposited.
• Device: Information on the device that captured the images
• Check Front Image: The image file of the front of the check.
• Check Back Image: The image file of the back of the check.
• Amount: The amount of the check deposit, with two decimal precision.
• Person ID: ID of the Person making the deposit.
