To get a deposit slip, you'll need to visit your bank's website or mobile banking app and log in to your account.
Most banks offer online deposit slips that can be printed or saved as a PDF.
You can also visit your bank's physical location to request a deposit slip from a bank representative.
Some banks may require you to provide identification to obtain a deposit slip.
Make sure to check your bank's specific requirements before heading out.
Filling Out Your
Filling out a deposit slip can seem like a daunting task, but it's actually quite straightforward. You'll find your deposit slip in the back of your checkbook, usually on a separate page with a different color.
To start, gather your checkbook and locate the deposit slip page. The deposit slip pages are usually of a different color than your checks, and have "Deposit Ticket/Slip" written above your name and address. This is where you'll find your preprinted deposit slips.
Your deposit slips should have your name, address, and account number printed on them. Look to the upper left side corner of your slips to make sure your information is displayed correctly. If it doesn't, or you got a blank slip from your bank, make sure to fill in this information.
You'll need to write your name, account number, and date on the slip. It's unlikely that your slip won't already contain this information, but if it doesn't, fill in the blank lines on the upper left side corner.
Here are the basic steps to fill out a deposit slip:
- Write the date of the deposit
- Write your name
- Include the account number where the check is being deposited into
- Include the amount of each check being deposited in the area designated for checks
- Write down a subtotal for all the check amounts
- Write down the total amount of the deposit
Remember to sign the slip and include the amount of cash you're depositing. If you're not depositing any cash, leave the cash boxes blank.
Signing Your Slip
Signing your deposit slip is a crucial step in the process. You're not always required to sign it, but if you want cash back from your deposit, you must sign it.
The type of ink you use is also important. Sign the deposit slip in blue or black ink.
If you're keeping some or all of the cash from a check and cash deposit, you usually must sign the deposit slip. This is a standard requirement for most banks.
Some banks don't require a signature, but it's always best to check with your bank to confirm their policies.
Checks and Routing
You can deposit a cashier's check without a deposit slip, but some banks might require one to make the funds available the next business day.
You can usually find the routing number, a unique nine-digit number that identifies the bank, in the lower left corner of a check.
Some financial institutions even allow you to deposit cashier's checks using an ATM or mobile deposit.
Ordering Checks
Ordering checks is a straightforward process that can be done through digital banking services or the U.S. Bank Mobile App. You can even place an order by calling Deluxe at 877-838-5287 or visiting a U.S. Bank branch.
To order checks using digital banking, select your checking account from your Online Banking dashboard and click on Account services, then choose Checks. You'll be able to verify the last four digits of your checking account and select the design you want, including a monogram or symbol next to your name.
You can choose from various designs, ranging from professional to fun and outdoors, and even add an additional signature line. The designs are customizable, so you can make sure your checks match your personal style.
If you're ordering checks through the U.S. Bank Mobile App, open the main menu and select Help & services, then choose Order checks. You'll be redirected to the Deluxe website, where you can select your checking account and begin the order process.
Before confirming your order, review the Check Imprint information to ensure your name, address, and other details are accurate. You'll also want to verify the shipping address and payment information to ensure everything is correct.
Here are some key things to double-check before placing your order:
- How your information is laid out on the check.
- That your information on the check is accurate.
- The check design or deposit slip selected is the one you want.
- Verify the shipping address is the right one.
- That the payment information is correct and you're aware of the cost.
What is a Routing Number?
A routing number is a unique nine-digit number that identifies the bank where your checking account is located. It's like a digital address for your bank.
You can find the routing number in the lower left corner of a check. It's usually printed in a specific format to make it easy to read.
The routing number is essential for electronic transactions, such as direct deposit, bill payments, and transfers.
Checks
Depositing a cashier's check is a relatively straightforward process, and you usually don't need to fill out a deposit slip. However, some banks and credit unions may require a special deposit slip if you want the money to be available the next business day.
Some financial institutions are now allowing ATM or mobile deposits of cashier's checks, making it even more convenient.
Depositing multiple checks is similar to depositing one check, and you might need to use the back of the deposit slip to list the entire batch of checks.
Filling a Slip
Filling a deposit slip can seem daunting, but it's actually quite straightforward. You can find deposit slips at bank and credit union branches or in the back of your checkbook.
To start, you'll need to fill in the date of the deposit. This is usually found on the left side of the slip, next to the space for your personal information. Write the date you want to use the slip in this space.
Signing the slip is also important. You'll find a space below the date where you can sign your name. Make sure to sign it clearly, so the bank can verify that it's you making the deposit.
Now, let's talk about entering the amounts. If you're depositing cash, write down the full amount in the box next to the "Cash" label. If you're depositing checks, each check and check number should go on its own line. You'll need to enter the amount of each check in the space provided.
Here's a quick rundown of the steps:
- Date: Write the date you want to use the slip in the space provided.
- Sign: Sign your name below the date.
- Cash: Write the full amount of cash being deposited next to the "Cash" label.
- Checks: Enter the amount of each check in the space provided, with each check and check number on its own line.
- Subtotal: Add up the cash and check amounts and write the total next to the "Subtotal" label.
- Less Cash: If you want to receive cash back, enter the amount you'd like to receive in this space.
Remember to take your deposit slip, checks and cash, and visit your bank to complete the deposit process.
