To deposit a check made out to your child at Chase Bank, the child must have a joint account with you or their own account. If they're under 18, you'll likely need to open a minor account or a custodial account. Endorse the check on their behalf (if necessary, with both of your signatures) and note that it's for deposit only. It's best to visit a branch with your child to ensure the process meets Chase's policies and to address any specific requirements.
