The good news is that it is easy, but it\u2019s important to be sure that your check is properly endorsed. It will decrease any holdups with the money being transferred to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/customers\">your small business\u2019s mobile bank account<\/a>&nbsp;and it prevents fraud.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you receive a check, it is like you are handling cash (with a few more details). When you hand over a check to the bank, you are authorizing the check to be turned into cash that is either placed in your hand or directly into your bank account. The step of endorsing a check with your signature, whether at the bank or using a remote device, is a security measure. It helps to verify the proper recipient and allows the bank to complete the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Here is everything you need to know about endorsing a check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Endorse_a_Check_Basic_Tips\"><\/span><strong>How to Endorse a Check: Basic Tips<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although endorsing a check may seem pretty straightforward, there are a few things that are important to remember before your signature is on that check. Here are a few quick tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_Signature\"><\/span><strong>Check Your Signature&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you sign a check for endorsement, it is important that you check that the name on the front of the check matches the name you&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ckfraud.org\/UCC_provisions.html\">sign<\/a>&nbsp;on the back. For instance, if the check is made payable to \u201cMs. Smithe,\u201d but the correct spelling of your name is \u201cMs. Smith,\u201d the back of the check should be signed with the incorrect spelling followed by the correct spelling below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Look_for_%E2%80%9CEndorse_Here%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>Look for \u201cEndorse Here\u201d<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most institutions include a 1.5-inch line on the back of the check proceed by a note that reads \u201cEndorse Here\u201d or \u201cEndorse Check Here\u201d known as the endorsement area. When endorsing a check for mobile deposit, be sure to do your best to keep your signature on the line and any other necessary information in the endorsement area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/media-ace\/includes\/lazy-load\/images\/blank.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/CHECK_ENDORSEMENT-779x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Where to Endorse a Check\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-3981\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_Your_Banks_Guidelines\"><\/span><strong>Know Your Bank\u2019s Guidelines&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Guidelines on endorsing a check may vary depending on the financial institution you are using. Knowing your bank\u2019s specific guidelines helps to ensure that you are endorsing the check correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Mobile_Deposits\"><\/span><strong>Tips for Mobile Deposits&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/business-banking\/how-long-does-mobile-check-take-to-deposit\/\">How long does a mobile check take to deposit?<\/a> With today\u2019s technology, depositing a check is quick and easy. With a mobile-first digital bank like North One,&nbsp;mobile deposits are easier than ever before. Here are a few tips that will help your mobile deposit go smoothly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<span class='mb-center maxbutton-3-center'><span class='maxbutton-3-container mb-container'><a class=\"maxbutton-3 maxbutton maxbutton-apply-for-an-account\" title=\"Apply for a North One Account in less than 3 minutes.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/join.northone.com\/\"><span class='mb-text'>Apply for an Account<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wait_to_Endorse_The_Check\"><\/span><strong>Wait to Endorse The Check&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">For security purposes, it is important to wait to endorse the check until you are ready to complete the deposit. An endorsed check becomes negotiable, which means it can be cashed or deposited by anyone, even if that person isn&#8217;t the payee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_%E2%80%9CFor_Mobile_Deposit_Only%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>Include \u201cFor Mobile Deposit Only\u201d<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are endorsing a check for mobile deposit it is recommended that you include the phrase \u201cfor mobile deposit only\u201d in the endorsement area. In fact, some banks require this, and checks that do not include this phrase will be returned with a notification stating \u201cdeposit was rejected due to restrictive endorsement.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Double_Check_Your_Check\"><\/span><strong>Double Check Your Check<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a mobile app to deposit a check makes the process quick and easy when done correctly. But an endorsement done wrong can lead to complications or even fraud. Do your due diligence and double-check your check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Follow_the_Instructions\"><\/span><strong>Follow the Instructions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When using a mobile device to deposit a check, be sure to follow the instructions on the app. Although most of the time the instructions are straightforward, apps are constantly changing and being improved. North One\u2019s mobile deposit process is simple! In order to endorse your check, all you have to do is snap a clear picture of the front and back of your check. You&#8217;ll immediately see your pending deposit show up in your account!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Types_of_Endorsements\"><\/span><strong>3 Types of Endorsements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main types of endorsements and each type of endorsement has its own rules for depositing the check. Before you sign the back of a check, it is important to know which type of endorsement you should be using in order to ensure you include the correct information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Blank_Endorsement\"><\/span><strong>1. Blank Endorsement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A blank endorsement is made when the back of a check is signed without any added restrictions. Because a blank endorsement check can be deposited by anyone (even if their name is not written on the check), this method is best used when the check will be deposited immediately, like while using a mobile banking app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Restrictive_Endorsement\"><\/span><strong>2. Restrictive Endorsement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A restrictive endorsement ensures that a check will be deposited into a specific account. Adding a restriction such as \u201cfor deposit only\u201d or \u201cfor mobile deposit only\u201d to the endorsement area helps to reduce the risk of the money being stolen if the check is lost. In fact, some institutions now require this to be written on checks before they are deposited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Special_Endorsement\"><\/span><strong>3. Special Endorsement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u201cspecial\u201d endorsement allows the payee to make the check payable to another person. For example, if Ms. Smith wants to make the check payable to Mr. Smith, she would write \u201cPay to the order of Mr. Smith\u201d on the back of the check-in the endorsement area. Because there is a potential risk of forgery when using special endorsement, banks are discouraged from cashing these types of checks unless the payee is present. Using a mobile banking app to deposit a special endorsement check helps the bank to legitimize the payment and protect your account from fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Endorses_a_Check\"><\/span><strong>Who Endorses a Check?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">In some cases, it can be tricky to figure out who should be endorsing the back of the check. But just like any other check, the person receiving the check needs to be the one to endorse it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Endorsing_a_Check_for_Multiple_People\"><\/span><strong>1. Endorsing a Check for Multiple People&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When endorsing a check that is written to multiple people, it is important to look at the pay-to line on the front of the check to look for the words \u201cand\u201d or \u201cor\u201d. If a check is made out to \u201cMs. and Mr. Smith\u201d both parties will need to sign the check. If the check is made out to \u201cMs. or Mr Smith\u201d either party can endorse the check. Just like when endorsing a check written to one person, it is important that when endorsing the back of the check the signature matches the spelling on the front of the check on the pay-to line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if the check was made out to you but you&#8217;d like to sign it over to someone else, this is possible. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/business-banking\/how-to-sign-over-a-check\/\">signing over a check to someone<\/a> has its own process that you&#8217;ll want to look into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Endorsing_a_Business_Check\"><\/span><strong>2. Endorsing a Business Check<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are endorsing a check made out to your small business is only slightly different from endorsing a check made payable to you. When a check is made payable to your business, the back of the check should be endorsed with the name of your business. Other information to include when endorsing a business check for mobile deposit includes your name, position and any further restrictions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Endorsing_a_Check_For_The_Benefit_of_Another\"><\/span><strong>3. Endorsing a Check For The Benefit of Another<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A check that is made payable from one party for the benefit of another (FBO) is a term used in the payee line of a check that is made out to an institution or custodian. The check must be endorsed by the first payee. For example, if the pay-to line reads \u201cMs. Smith FBO Mr. Smith\u201d, then, Ms Smith would be the first to endorse the back of the check followed by Mr. Smith.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/join.northone.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/media-ace\/includes\/lazy-load\/images\/blank.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.northone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Blog_checkCTA_Banner.jpg\" alt=\"Deposit Checks With North One\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-3980\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endorsing a check, how hard can it be?
