How safe is Deposit Anywhere℠?
Deposit Anywhere℠ uses the advanced encryption and security technology contained within Freedom First’s Mobile Banking, so images are not stored on your mobile device. Sign out of Mobile Banking or close the app after completing a transaction to be even more secure.

Why doesn’t Deposit Anywhere℠ work on my device?
Every phone and tablet can provide a different user experience. The age of the device and its settings, camera, and other factors may affect its ability to perform the function.
