Image Requirements and Best Practices

To reduce delays or rejections:

  • Hold the camera parallel to the check and keep it inside the on-screen frame.

  • Avoid using flash.

  • Use a dark, solid background without patterns (avoid marble or wood grain).

  • If the surface is patterned or light-colored, place a dark sheet of paper behind the check.

  • Ensure bright, even lighting with no shadows.

  • Lay the check flat, without bends or folds.

  • Optional: Place a small dot in each corner of the check (pencil-eraser sized) to help the system detect edges.
