When is my money available after I make a mobile deposit?

The availability of your deposit can vary depending on your account type and other factors.

Please refer to your Membership Agreement or contact PrimeWay at (713) 799-6200 or (800) 554-5690. A PrimeWay representative is available Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

How are my deposit limits determined?

Deposit limits can vary based on many factors, such as your account type and deposit history.

Normally, each account has a maximum deposit limit of $25,000 per 30 days. For instance, if you were to do a mobile deposit on day 1, you will have hit your deposit limit and would not be able to make a deposit using the mobile check deposit until the 30 day period has passed, and then your limit is reset to $25,000. You will receive a notification about your limit when you sign up for mobile check deposit.

If you would like to request an increase to your deposit limit, please call PrimeWay at (713) 799-6200 or (800) 554-5690. A PrimeWay representative is available Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
