The Raymond James Investor Access mobile app continues to get more convenient for its users. As long as you have the most up-to-date version of the Apple or Android application, you can now use it to deposit checks into your Raymond James accounts. You can deposit a check into almost any retirement and brokerage account that is linked to your Investor Access—only SIMPLE IRAs, pledged, and minor accounts are not included in this feature. You simply choose the destination of the account, enter in the check amount, and then snap a picture of the front and back of the check and the check will be deposited to your account!
Deposit limits correspond to the monetary size of your Raymond James relationship. See this handy chart below to know your daily deposit limit:

The mobile check deposit feature on the Investor Access App is for your convenience. If you don’t have Investor Access, you can enroll here. When in doubt, however, feel free to send your checks our way and we will deposit them in the correct account on the day we receive them.
