LA VISTA, Neb. - June 4, 2015 - Securities America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT: LTS), announced access to the Mobile Check Deposit feature of the NetX360® Mobile app from Pershing, LLC (Pershing), a subsidiary of Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, at no cost to its advisors.
Mobile Check Deposit allows for same day deposits, providing clients quicker access to their funds, while saving advisors and their staff the time and cost of mailing checks. To address security concerns, check images are not stored on the advisor's phone.
There is also on-screen tracking to review the status of deposits and the ability to split deposits across up to seven different accounts. The app is available on iPad and iPhone and can be used for all approved retirement and non-retirement brokerage accounts.

"We will continue to work with our partners to add new services and features that foster productivity and convenience."
