Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving, from a mobile device, a deposit request including a first check image for funds to be deposited into a user account, determining a risk level associated with the deposit request, requesting a second check image having a restricted endorsement based on the risk level, receiving the second check image having the restricted endorsement, determining a confidence level based on the restricted endorsement, and transferring the funds to the user account based on the confidence level.

A method comprising:
- capturing a first check image by:
- activating an image capture device of a mobile device to generate the first check image comprising an image of a front side of a check, the image capture device comprising one or more lenses and an image sensor, wherein the image capture device is integrated into a body of the mobile device,
- overlaying, by a display device of the mobile device, a guide box having red color over the first check image framing the front side of the check, wherein lines at edges of the guide box change color indicating when the first check image is detected by the image capture device,
- applying, by the display device of the mobile device, red color to the lines at the edges of the guide box until the first check image is detected by the image capture device,
- responsive to detecting the first check image by the image capture device, applying, by the display device of the mobile device, green color to the lines at the edges of the guide box, and
- activating an electronic shutter of the image capture device to capture the first check image responsive to detecting the first check image;
- recording, by the image capture device, the first check image to a memory of the mobile device responsive to activating the electronic shutter;
- transmitting, over a network by a network interface of the mobile device, a deposit request for funds to be deposited into a user account, wherein the deposit request includes the first check image;
- identifying, by a first binary risk level assessment logic of a check processing computer system, whether a first binary risk level associated with the deposit request is within a specified risk level threshold;
- receiving, over the network by the network interface of the mobile device, a first request to provide a second check image having a restricted endorsement based on the first binary risk level associated with the deposit request being above the specified risk level threshold, wherein the first binary risk level associated with the deposit request is based on at least one of:
- an account transaction history, information regarding an account balance, a credit history, and a history of fraud regarding a user;
- capturing the second check image having the restricted endorsement by:
- activating the image capture device of the mobile device to generate the second check image comprising an image of a back side of the check,
- overlaying, by the display device of the mobile device, the guide box having red color over the second check image framing the back side of the check, wherein the lines at the edges of the guide box change color indicating when the second check image is detected by the image capture device,
