Ally Bank Mobile Deposit Limit 2026: $50,000/Day and $250,000 per 30 Days

Ally Bank lets you deposit up to $50,000 in a single business day and up to $250,000 every 30 calendar days with eCheck Deposit. Ally begins processing a check deposited on a business day before 7:00 PM ET that evening, and says funds are generally available no later than the 5th business day after your deposit. For a full overview of Ally’s accounts, rates, and limits, see the Ally Bank guide.

Ally Bank Mobile Deposit Limits at a Glance

How to Deposit a Check with Ally Bank

1. Open the Ally mobile app on iOS or Android
2. Tap Deposit from the home screen
3. Select the account you want to deposit into (Checking, Savings, or Money Market)
4. Enter the exact check amount
5. Sign the back of the check (every payee must sign) and write “For Mobile Deposit Only” below the signatures
6. Take a photo of the front of the check — ensure all four corners are visible on a flat, contrasting surface
7. Take a photo of the back of the check (endorsed side)
8. Review the details and tap Submit
9. Keep the physical check until the deposit has posted, and for as long as Ally’s terms say, then destroy it

When Will My Deposit Be Available?

Example: You deposit a $5,000 check at 9 PM ET on Monday. That is after Ally’s 7 p.m. ET cutoff, so processing begins Tuesday, and Ally says the money will generally be available no later than the 5th business day after your deposit.

How Ally’s Mobile Deposit Limit Compares

Ally publishes its limits, while Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Capital One show yours in their apps and don’t publish a dollar figure. For small business owners, freelancers, landlords, or anyone who regularly deposits large checks, knowing the limit up front is a practical advantage.

Depositing Amounts Over $50,000

If you need to move more than $50,000 in a day:

• Ask Ally about your options: Call 1-877-247-2559.
• ACH transfer instead: If the payer can initiate an ACH, Ally accepts incoming ACH transfers with no mobile deposit involved. Ally doesn’t publish a fixed daily ACH limit — see Ally Bank transfer limits for what’s confirmable versus commonly cited.
• Wire transfer: Ask the payer to send a wire instead of a check; see wire transfer fees for what senders pay.

Cash Deposits: Limited at Ally

Ally doesn’t accept cash at ATMs or by mail, but you can add cash to an Ally Spending Account (checking) for free at a Walmart Money Center or customer service desk using a barcode in the Ally app — $20 to $999 per transaction, up to $1,000 a day and five transactions a month. Cash can’t go into Ally savings, money market or CD accounts. Ally also says it can’t accept money orders through eCheck Deposit. Options for customers who receive cash:

1. Add cash at Walmart to an Ally Spending Account through the Ally app (within the limits above)
2. Deposit cash at a second bank or credit union and ACH transfer to Ally (1–3 business days)
3. Use a prepaid card with cash reload capability, then link it for ACH transfer (fees may apply)

Many Ally customers keep a basic account at a local credit union for cash handling and use Ally as their primary savings and interest-bearing checking account.
