How to fill out a Deposit Slip

HOW TO FILL OUT A DEPOSIT SLIP

By Valentina Torres

 

 

1. Understand that your checkbooks contain your deposit slips. They are located behind all of the your checks.

• Your name should be already pre-printed on your personal deposit slips.
• If you don't have any deposit slips, then request one from a teller, or you may find one in/on the writing stand located in the lobby of your bank

    2.  Notice that on the deposit slip, there are lines or a column designated to list your deposit. The first line says "Cash" this spot is for ANY CASH you're depositing. Count the cash you're depositing and write the amount where it is listed "Cash".

    3.  Look to see that next line is reserved for a check you want to deposit. If your deposit contains checks, then go ahead and list the one check in that spot.

• To enter a check enter it's bank number such as 91-527

    4.  Realize the next line may be reserved for "Checks" or "Total from the other side". Don't let this scare you, if you turn your deposit slip over you'll see that there are more lines to add more checks.

• If you have more than 2 checks, you can list them on the back and total them on the back as well.
• Once you have totaled the checks on the back, you can list them where it says "Total from the other side".

    5.  The next line says Sub Total. This is where you add up all the cash and checks you have listed.

    6.  Check out the next line and notice it says "Less Cash Received". This spot is reserved for the amount of money you would like to get back from the deposit.

    7. Now you just subtract the "Less Cash Received" line from the "Sub Total" line to get the total for your Net Deposit. 

   8. Finished.
