Mail a Check
Instructions
Paper and mail-based deposit of funds.
We can only accept bank, bill payment and personal checks for US Dollars. Please write your account number on the check and mail it to the address on the deposit form. Specific instructions, such as how to print the deposit form, will appear during the deposit notification process. Note that Canadian customers cannot fund their accounts with checks or bank drafts.
Under normal circumstances, we will deposit your check on the business day nearest the day we receive it, which is subject to the speed of the mail service.
