Paper checks continue to be a trusted and familiar tool for many Caro members. Whether you prefer their tangible nature or value their straightforward reliability, checks remain a secure way to manage your finances. Let’s explore how to use them safely and keep your funds protected.”
When you endorse a check, you’re signing the back to show you’re the rightful recipient. Adding “For deposit only to account #XXXX” provides clear instructions on where the funds should go, leaving no room for errors.
Without proper endorsements, someone else could claim your funds. By endorsing correctly, you’re taking a simple yet powerful step to protect your money.
Tips for Safe Check Usage:
- Wait to Sign: Endorse your check just before depositing it, especially if you’re using a mobile app.
- Be Clear: Write “For deposit only” with your account number to ensure accuracy.
- Stay Alert: Monitor your accounts for unusual activity and report anything suspicious immediately.
