Government-issued checks require special care when being deposited into a credit union account. Please follow these important instructions to ensure a successful deposit.
- Government-issued checks require all payees listed to endorse the check by signing each of their names on the back of the check.
- If you receive a check made out to you and a joint filer, be sure to endorse the check with both of your names and deposit it into an account you hold jointly. Checks from the government written to two parties can’t be deposited into a single owner’s account.
- When depositing a government-issued check using Mobile Deposit, please have each payee endorse the check and write “For
GFCU Mobile Deposit Only” below the signature(s), otherwise, your mobile deposit will be delayed until this is corrected.
