To deposit someone else's check into your mobile, first ensure that the check is endorsed by the payee. On the back of the check, the payee should write 'Pay to the order of [Your Name]' and sign below. Next, you'll need to endorse the check underneath the payee's endorsement. Use your banking app to photograph both sides of the endorsed check, following any additional instructions provided by the app. Always check with your bank first to confirm their policies on depositing checks made out to someone else.
