When endorsing a check, do you have to put your account number on the back or just your signature?

Answer 1

just sign the back, sometimes the teller asks for my drivers license number

Answer 2

When endorsing a check you just need to sign the back of it. Signing the check gives the bank permission to collect the funds from the check writer.

If the check is deposited unsigned the bank teller or the person who checks the teller's work will stamp the back of the check (which the bank takes as a signature).

Many people like to write "For deposit only" and their account number on the back of their checks for security reasons.

The bank puts ID and your account number on the check if you are cashing it.

Answer 3

It's best to put your account number on the back of the check. It helps if and when research has to be conducted. If there is an incident which occurs and the deposited check is not credited to your account, having the account number on the back of the check will expedite the research process. Hope this information helps.
