Today, I decided I would try this feature on my banking app which lets me deposit checks by sending a picture of it. The instructions say to rip the check after depositing. The deposit didn't work and now I've got a ripped up paycheck. FML

So we all know to rip the check after CONFIRMING the deposit was made. Thanks, FML.

You should have double checked that the money is in before tearing it up. I wouldn't gamble with my pay and think twice before ripping it up! When it comes to money, sometimes the traditional method is better...

Should have just went to the bank. Even if taking a picture of it would be easier. At least if you went to the bank you'd know that your check got cashed.

It takes a few days for it to go through

Not your banks fault just human stupidity!

If the instructions said "eat the check" would you have done that?

U rip it up after u make sure it went through!!!!!

Unless its in tiny shredded pieces take it to the issuing bank, tell them what happened and they will in almost all cases cash it for you. It happens. Now go get your money!!!

You're supposed to hold onto it for about three months even after you get the confirmation email. Yeah, I learned that the hard way, but I wrote VOID, instead.

Even if there was a confirmation stating that it was processed successfully, just because you were told to rip it does not mean you have to do so. Keeping a hard copy of the original does not hurt.
