What must you do to deposit a check?

First, open a checking or savings account at a credit union or bank. Second, fill out a deposit slip. Third, endorse the check (sign it on the back in the area reserved for endorsement). Last, have the teller deposit the check in your account. You may be able to endorse the check and mail it in for deposit. Ask you bank or credit union about their procedures for that. If you do mail a check for deposit, include the phrase "for deposit only" along with your signature in the endorsement.

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.
