No, Chase generally does not allow you to deposit checks that are not in your name. To deposit a check that’s payable to someone else, both parties must endorse the check, and the person the check is endorsed to must accompany the original payee to the bank for the deposit. However, policies might vary slightly by branch, so it's recommended to contact your local Chase bank for specific guidelines.
