Both payees must endorse the check and usually both must also present ID to cash the check.
You can cash a check made out to two payees if you are one of the payees and the other has signed the check. You can also cash it if both payees have signed it over to you.
If you mean a payee, it depends on how the names are conjoined: "and" requires both payees to endorse the check; "or" permits one or the other to endorse the check. In both situations, both payees are entitled to the cash value of the check.
Nope only one does.
If the bank account is, in fact, under both, the husbands and wife's name, than either can deposit a check into the account. If the check is written out to both names and the account is only in one name then both individuals would have to be present with ID in order to deposit the check.
This depends on your bank's policies, however, generally a check must be titled like the account is titled to be deposited into that account or the payee and the account holder must both present the check for deposit to verify they each agree to the deposit.
i need to endorse the check with both the company and my name on it
If the acount is held jointly by both parties, either person can endorse the check and deposit it. If the account is only in the depositor's name, then both parties have to endorse the check. Check with your bank for the correct information.
Write "For Deposit Only" on the back. Both people have to sign it. If you are one of those people and you want to deposit it to your account you would sign first.
The payee, who is the person the check is written to. If they don't sign the back of the check before they deposit it, then the bank the check is drawn on (where the person who wrote the check banks at) can return the check for up to 7 years after it is deposited into the payees account. If that happens, then the bank where the payee banks at (where the check was deposited) will usually debit your account for the amount of the check. Also, if a check is made out to more than one person and includes the word "and" between the persons names, then both must sign or it must be deposited into an account owned by all payees listed on the check and stamped by the bank. If the word "or" is between the names, then only one payee need sign it. If it is made payable to a business or trust, then it must go into a business or trust account. It cannot go into the personal account of the business owner or of a trustee.
If the check says you or the other person. If the check is made out to you and the other person both of you need to sign it.
Each bank has different policies, so to find out the best answer, you should check with the bank where you are attempting to deposit the check.If they will allow you to deposit your paycheck into someone else's checking account, they will likely request that:- Both you and the account holder sign the check, in the presence of the teller- For you, the person to whom the paycheck is payable, to present unexpired, valid photo ID confirming that you are the person who you say you areAlternatives- The obvious: get your own bank account and deposit your check there.- Cash your paycheck, which can be done at the bank on which the check is drawn, at a check cashing service such as Amscot, or at certain banks or grocery stores that offer check cashing services.
