Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Sign the back and write for Capital One mobile deposit before you take the photos.

  2. Hold the phone flat above the check so it is in focus and not too small.

  3. Flatten any wrinkles and put the check on a dark, non-reflective surface in good light.

  4. Submit the deposit again.

  5. Call 1-877-442-3764 if it keeps failing.
