When is it a good idea to write 'for deposit only' on your check?
Answered By Chuck Ivens, Editor
If you write a 'for deposit only' on the back
of your check, it's some sort of
loss-prevention measure. In case your check
is stolen, lost, or misappropriated, your
money is safe and will not be released to
another person. It is often used for bill
payments. It prevents anyone from cashing the
money; therefore, the check is deposited only
into the account of the recipient.
