Auto-Deposit completes the check depositing process for you, which starts the moment we detect a check when scanning the contents of your mail. This guide will show you how to set up your free automated check depositing feature so that you can remove the need for manual deposit requests and speed up your cash flow.
Earth Class Mail strongly recommends using Auto-Deposit alongside Auto-Scan so that you can create a true ‘set and forget’ check depositing solution. Here’s how it works: with Auto-Scan enabled, we’ll automatically scan the contents of your mail and immediately initiate the action to deposit any checks we detect in the process through Auto-Deposit.
With Auto-Scan and Auto-Deposit, we can deposit your checks without you ever having to log in to your mailbox. All you have to do is set and forget. Learn how to set up Auto-Scan.
Set Up Your Auto-Deposit Rule
1. Click Menu > Settings > Automation Rules.
2. Select the “Add New” button. (Any existing rules you have configured on your account, like Auto-Scan, will be displayed on this page.)
Start creating your rule by giving it a description or name, like “Auto-Deposit.” Next, select the recipient you want the rule to apply for. Only mail that’s addressed to the specific recipient will be affected. Click next after filling in each of the spaces.
3. Select “A check has been detected” as the triggering event > click Next.
4. Select “Deposit Checks” as the triggered action > click Next.

If you bank with Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, or Wells Fargo, we automatically overnight your checks for no additional fee.
If you bank with another provider, you have the option to select “Expedite Check Processing” to overnight your checks for a fee. Once you’ve configured your actions, click Next.
6. Select “Include all items” so that we deposit each of your checks > Click Next.
