What is mobile check deposit and how does it work?
It’s as easy as it sounds – it’s a way to deposit checks into your LPL non-retirement
account by using your smartphone’s camera. Open the Account View mobile app and
log in, and navigate under “more” for mobile check deposits. Endorse the back of the
check, and you’ll be prompted to take photos of the front and the back of the check.
You’ll be asked to verify the amount before the deposit is completed.
What if I don’t have the Account View Mobile App?
You can find it by searching “LPL Account View” on the App Store for iOS and
Google Play for Android devices. Then you can login using your email address and
password from when you created your account. You’ll get a text message with a code
to register the app the first time you log in.
What are the benefits of mobile check deposit?
The most notable benefit is convenience – you don’t need to mail a check to me to make a deposit. And because
the Account View mobile app is available 24/7, you can deposit at any time of the day. It’s also a faster way to
ensure your money is deposited; and you can ensure the accuracy of the deposit when you enter the amount of
the check.
What is the limit for the number of checks and dollar amount of deposits?
There is no limit for the number of deposits per day. However, only one check image can be deposited at a time.
If you have multiple checks, you will need to make a separate mobile deposit for each item. The check deposit
daily limit is $50,000 per check, and $250,000 30-day check deposit threshold.
What if I have a check that is more than my daily limit?
LPL Financial will deny your deposit. Please contact your Financial Professional for assistance.
Do I need to include a deposit slip with my check?
No, a deposit slip is not required.
Is there a fee to use Mobile Deposit?

How quickly will the deposit be credited to my account once the deposit is accepted?

and holidays. Upon submission, if your deposit is deemed not in good order, your advisor will be notified and
