President's Choice Financial® services makes mobile cheque deposit available to customers
TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2014 /CNW/ - President's Choice Financial® services today announced the addition of a mobile cheque deposit feature, adding to its array of convenient services aimed at making banking simple and better for busy Canadians. The free service allows customers to safely and securely deposit cheques on-the-go through their mobile devices.
"As more and more Canadians use mobile devices in their everyday lives, we're committed to providing our customers with tools that add both value and convenience to their banking experience," said Barry Columb, President of President's Choice Bank. "For more than 16 years, PC Financial has offered Canadian families the convenience of banking where they shop for groceries, while also providing an opportunity to earn PC points redeemable for everyday rewards. With this new feature, we're helping free up more time for the things customers would rather be doing, while still offering great value and rewards."
Available on both Apple® and Android™ devices, the PC Financial® mobile cheque deposit feature is fast, easy and secure. Customers' financial information is not stored on mobile devices when using this feature and all wireless communications are securely encrypted.
To deposit a paper cheque online using a mobile device, customers need only follow these three simple steps:
- Select "Deposit" on your mobile banking application after securely logging in;
- Take a photo of the front and back of the cheque you wish to deposit, sign the back of it and then select the account you wish to use, along with the amount; and
- After submitting your deposit, await confirmation that your money is available!
Mobile cheque deposit is the latest in a series of initiatives for PC Financial® services aimed at simplifying the customer experience and providing added value and convenience. These efforts have led to President's Choice Financial® services being named #1 in the "Value for Money" category among all Canadian financial institutions as part of the 2014 Ipsos Best Banking Awards.
