FAQs & Answers

  1. Can I deposit a check written to someone else into my bank account? Yes, but typically the check must be properly endorsed by the payee, and you should check with your bank’s policies as requirements may vary.
  2. What does 'For Deposit Only' mean when endorsing a check? Writing 'For Deposit Only' restricts the check so it can only be deposited into the specified account, enhancing security.
