To manually deposit a check online, most banks and credit unions offer a mobile app that allows you to deposit checks through a simple process. First, sign the back of the check and, if required, write "For mobile deposit only" underneath your signature. Open your bank's app and look for the deposit section, where you'll select "deposit checks." Use your smartphone to take clear photos of the front and back of the signed check and enter the check amount. Finally, confirm the details and submit the deposit. You should keep the physical check until the deposit is fully cleared and confirmed by your bank.
