To endorse a check for mobile deposit, follow these steps:
-
Sign your name in the endorsement area on the back of the check. This area is usually above the signature line.
-
Write "For Mobile Deposit Only" or a similar restrictive endorsement below your signature. This is required by most banks to ensure that the check is deposited via mobile deposit and not in person.
-
Make sure that your endorsement is legible and written in black or blue ink.
-
Check your banks mobile deposit policy beforehand to ensure that you are following their specific requirements.
-
Review the check for any errors in the endorsement section, such as misspellings or inaccurate information, that could cause the bank to reject or delay your deposit.
-
Take a clear photo of the front and back of the check using your mobile banking app.
-
Submit your deposit through the app.
Its important to note that some banks may have specific phrasing that you must use to deposit a check with their mobile apps, so be sure to check your banks policy beforehand.
