Q&A for How to Fill Out a Checking Deposit Slip

If you have multiple checks that you'd like to deposit at once with a teller.

It didn't. You can still use the bank "fractional" number.

Enter the "fraction" number of the bank branch where the check originated and the amount of the check. The fraction (typically involving a hyphen and a slash mark) is printed on the check just below the check number.

Nothing bad happens. The date you write isn't as important as the date the bank stamps on the slip and your receipt.

You don't need a deposit slip for this. At the drive-up window, tell the teller what you want, and s/he will do it for you and give you a receipt.

Yes, but label it "m.o." to the left of the amount deposited.

When you want to deposit cash, a check, or a money order into your checking account. Though many banks now allow you to deposit checks via an app, so it may not be strictly necessary for that one.

You write your name (i.e. your signature). That's all.

Check if your CU has a "bank by mail" deposit option - if they do, ask them to mail you a packet of envelopes. If they don't, ask them what address you can send checks for deposit to. When you get the envelopes or the address, in the endorsement box on the back of the check, write three lines of info. Line 1: FOR DEPOSIT ONLY. Line 2: Your checking (or savings) account number. Line 3: sign your name. In this instance, no deposit slip is required.

When listing checks, you should list them by check number - the number at the top right corner of the check.

Because the same deposit slip is used for both cash and check transactions; they do not print separate types of deposit slips for separate types of funds. You can simply ignore the space for entering checks when you are only depositing cash, just leave it blank.

No. When starting direct deposit, your place of employment will probably not accept a generic deposit slip that you have filled out. They will want either a voided check, or for you to fill out a direct deposit form.

You do not need to. If you would like to, for your own reference, you can. The most important part when listing the checks is that you accurately list the amount of each check.

It would be up to the policies of BB&T if they cash it. You may call them and ask, or visit a Regions bank to get it cashed.

Yes, but you will need the person's full account number, and the receipt you receive for the transaction will not have the bank account balance on it.

The x's take the place (in the example above) of actual numbers entered on a real slip. The numbers represent a specific bank branch.

Yes.
