“Mobile Deposit has been and continues to be the de facto standard for mobile banking,” said James B. DeBello, president & CEO at Mitek. “Since last year, we’ve more than doubled the number of signed institutions from 1,420 to 3,026.”

Celent projects that Mobile Deposit will be used by 33 million consumers in 2014. The popularity of Mobile Deposit was underscored in a recent Zogby Analytics survey sponsored by Mitek, “Millennials, Selfies and The Changing Face of Mobile Commerce”.  It found that nearly 9 out of 10 Millennials have used or are willing to use a smartphone camera to deposit checks.
