How do I request a check deposit?

1 min. readlast update: 11.05.2026

Traveling Mailbox can prepare and mail checks received in your mailbox directly to your bank for deposit. You can request this service through your online mailbox while at home, traveling, or living abroad.

Before you begin

Confirm that your bank accepts deposits by mail. Ask for the correct deposit mailing address and any specific endorsement or deposit requirements.

How to submit your request

  1. Sign in to your online mailbox.

  2. Locate the envelope containing your check and request Open and Scan.

  3. Once the scan is available, review the contents.

  4. Open the request dropdown for that item and select Check Deposit.

  5. Follow the prompts, enter the requested information, and review your details before submitting.

What happens next?

Our team prepares your check for mailing, endorses it “For Deposit Only,” includes a custom deposit slip, and sends it to your bank with tracking.

Traveling Mailbox mails the physical check. Your bank handles the deposit and determines when the funds become available.

How much does it cost?

Check deposit service is available on all mailbox plans for $4.95 per check plus postage. Your mailbox subscription and other applicable service charges are separate.
