You are lucky. My bank only allows phone deposits up to $5000 and even that was a recent change. Before that it was $1000.
Sadly most of the checks I get are for $50 or $100. Haven't had someone give me over 1k since my wedding...

Mine allows $50,000
What bank? That would be so much easier, especially for my business account. Mine is Citi and the limit is $5,000.

I think it depends on your credit score.

My bank requires us to write "For Deposit Only" on the back of checks before we upload.

You should always write it. If you happen to lose it before depositing, and it is signed with your name, the person who finds it can cash it. This is insurance that it will be DEPOSITED only, to your account.

Yes. Otherwise it can be endorsed to another person. This is a whole body of law about negotiable instruments.

I always do it. Otherwise if it just had your signature on it, and got lost or stolen, someone could potentially take it to the bank and cash it.

Yes, it is because some banks allow you to sign over checks on the back.

I always do it too. Not sure why. Hopefully, a banker will chime in.

Is there any point to writing a restricted endorsement of "For Deposit Only" on the back of a check? Way back when, my mom told me I should always do that to prevent fraud, but I never questioned or checked her advice. Does anyone else still do this?
