How BMO sets the mobile-deposit limit
BMO’s digital-banking FAQ says Mobile Deposit limits are based on the types of accounts you have. Customers can see the weekly total combined deposit limit inside the Deposit a Check flow by selecting the destination account and opening the information icon. That makes weekly combined mobile-deposit limit the useful reference point rather than a limit copied from an old forum post.
Why deposit limits are not the same as funds availability
A mobile-deposit limit answers how much you are allowed to submit through the app. It does not promise that the entire check will be available immediately. BMO can still place a hold, review an image, reject an ineligible item or make only part of the deposit available while the check is being verified.
How to check your current limit before submitting a large check
Open the mobile-deposit flow and look for the limit shown for the destination account. If the amount is not visible, check the bank’s current digital-banking terms or contact support. Limits can change with account type, relationship history, recent returned items, risk review or product updates.
Cutoff times and weekends can change the calendar
A deposit made late in the day can be treated as received on the next banking day. Weekends and bank holidays can also push processing forward. For a check that you need for a scheduled payment, pay attention to both the deposit cutoff and the date the funds are expected to become available.
Avoid the most common mobile-deposit problems
Use a dark, non-reflective background, capture all four corners, enter the check amount exactly and follow the required endorsement wording. Keep the paper check until the deposit is fully accepted and the bank’s recommended retention period has passed. Never submit the same check again unless the bank instructs you to do so.
