A two party check will need to be signed by the original recipient as well as by the person it is signed over to. This may need to be done in the presence of a bank teller depending on their policy and it will need to be deposited into an account to be held until funds clear.

Endorse, or sign, the check on the back. Put your account number on there and write For Deposit Only.
How do you write a check for deposit into another one of your other accounts?
If you have more than one account with the same bank you can simply transfer money from one account to the other (i.e. savings to chequing or vice versa). This can be done online if you have online banking or at the till. You could even withdraw money from an ATM out of one of your accounts and then deposit it into another.Assuming that the accounts are not with the same bank and you want to write a check to "transfer" from one account "source" to deposit into the other bank account "target".You can make the check out to "Cash" and endorse it (sign the back).It would be wise to write your "target" bank account number in the memo portion of the check preceeded by the word "deposit". Just be sure to get a deposit receipt and ensure that it was deposited into your account. Be aware that the bank may place a hold on the deposit amount until it receives the funds from the other bank (your check does not bounce).

How do write a draft check from one account to be deposited into another checking account?
To write a draft check from one account to be deposited into another checking account, fill out the check as you normally would, with the payee's name and amount.

What does writing FOR DEPOSIT ONLY on a check do?
When you deposit a bank check or money order etc. and you write the words FOR DEPOSIT ONLY below your name and account number on the back of the check you are telling the receiving bank that you want the entire amount of the check to be deposit into your Checking and/or into your Savings account and that you are not to receive any of the funds from that check until it fully clears and the funds are fully available in your respective account.Also by writing FOR DEPOSIT ONLY on the back of your check you are protecting yourself in the event the check gets lost or stolen because anyone who finds the check will not be able to cash it or deposit it into an account other then your own.

Can you endorse a check for someone else to deposit in your account?
Yes, you can endorse a check for someone else to deposit in any account, yours or his or some random person in the Middle East. Once you endorse the check, it is considered "as good as cash" unless you write "For Deposit Only" on the back as well - then it must be deposited into a bank account somewhere. If you trust the person who will be depositing the check, feel free to endorse the check and let them take it to a bank or ATM for depositing into your account - they will need your bank deposit slip or your bank card with PIN to do so.
Would a deposit appear on your bank statement as a credit?
Yes. A deposit is a credit and a withdrawal (check, debit card, etc.) is a debit. For example, you open a checking account with $500: Opening Balance $500 this is a credit (+) You write a check for $25 this is a debit (-) You write a check for $82 this is a debit (-) You make a deposit of $250 this is a credit (+) You write a check for $28 this is a debit (-) Your balance is $615 If you were to write a check for more than your balance of $615, then you would have a negative (-) balance.
