    Deposits at a Bank

    • 1). Turn the check over to endorse it.

    • 2). Write the words "For deposit only" on the back of the check within the lines provided for writing. This creates a "restrictive endorsement" that prevents anyone from simply cashing the check. A restrictive endorsement is optional, but it can prevent the cashing of a lost or stolen check.

    • 3). Sign your name on the back of the check as it appears on the front of the check.

    • 4). Present the endorsed check at the bank along with a deposit slip for the bank account. Enter the check amount in the blank fields of the deposit slip.
