When would you use a blank endorsement?

A blank endorsement is when someone signs the back of a check that does not indicate a particular payee. The person who wrote the check is considered the remitter. Once endorsed, the check can be cashed by anyone who wishes to claim it. People can also write a check to themselves as cash, and cash it.

What is the effect of a blank endorsement?

Blank endorsement of a financial instrument, such as a cheque, is only a signature, not indicating the payee. The effect of this is that it is payable only to the bearer – legally, it transforms an order instrument (“pay to the order of (the payee)”) into a bearer instrument (“pay to the bearer”).

Can you deposit a check for someone else?

In short, yes, you can deposit a check for somebody else. As long as the check is endorsed with the payee’s signature, or the phrase “for deposit only”, you shouldn’t have any problems. Though, in the interest of financial security, it is best for the payee of a check to make their own deposit.

Can you deposit a check with 2 names on it?

If the check is issued to two people, such as John and Jane Doe, the bank or credit union generally can require that the check be signed by both of them before it can be cashed or deposited. If the check is issued to John or Jane Doe, generally either person can cash or deposit the check.
