Committed to providing its community bank customers with the latest technology and capabilities found at big banks, Sun National Bank now offers customers the ability to deposit checks to Sun checking accounts just by using the camera on a mobile phone.
Sun has launched SunMobile Deposit, a service that enables consumer online banking customers to quickly and securely deposit a check from anyone into a Sun checking account, simply by taking a photo of the back and front of the check. Customers who want to use SunMobile Deposit must have the latest version of the user-friendly SunMobile banking app, which is available for download from iTunes or Google Play, on an iPhone® or Android™ cell phone. Customers can also check account balances, view pending transactions, transfer funds and make single bill payments through Sun's mobile banking service on a cell phone.
Consumers are increasingly using mobile phone applications to conduct "on-the-go" financial transactions, including purchases, donations and banking activities. According to Javelin Strategy & Research: over the next five years, mobile banking is projected to reach 55% of U.S. adults, achieving a steady annual growth rate of 11.6%; 55% of mobile phone owners use mobile Web banking, and 50% use mobile banking apps. Customer data from Digital Insight, an online banking service provider, shows that, of people who do mobile banking transactions, one in five of them uses only a mobile device for all banking activities.
"Sun National Bank is committed to bringing the industry's latest technologies to our customers and to provide them with convenience, efficiency and choice when they do their banking," said Thomas X. Geisel, President and CEO, Sun National Bank. "SunMobile Deposit is the latest addition to a suite of forward-thinking banking solutions that enable Sun customers to interact with us anytime, anywhere, in a secure online environment."
