When someone pays you with a check, typically you have to sign the back of it before you can deposit it in your account. Signing the back of it is called “endorsing the check.” We have tips on how you can safely endorse a check. Ready to cash a check? First, you have to endorse it.

How do I sign an endorsement check?

Sign the back of the check in the top section of the endorsement area. Every check has an area on the back that reads “Endorse Check Here.” This is where you will sign your name as it appears on the front of the check.

What is an example of a check endorsement?

The most common example of this type of endorsement is when an institution or custodian is depositing a check on someone’s behalf.
