Go to Banking → Checking account, then select Move money → Deposit check to deposit a check into your checking account by taking a photo of it. Company Admins and Bookkeepers can deposit checks after your company finishes onboarding. If your Banking menu has no Charge card item, Checking account is called Overview in the sidebar.

Before you begin

  • You need the Company Admin or Bookkeeper role. Both see Deposit check in the Move money menu.
  • Have the check with you. The Deposit check page says checks must be issued by a US bank. It asks for the check’s amount, then for photos of it (see Take a clear photo).

Make the deposit

1

Open Deposit check

On Banking → Checking account, select Move money → Deposit check. Or, in Quick access on Home, select Add funds, choose Deposit a check, then select Continue.
2

Enter the amount

Enter the amount of the check, then continue.
3

Photograph the check

When the page asks for photos of the check, take them and follow the instructions on the screen.
4

Finish the deposit

Complete every step the page shows to finish your deposit.

Take a clear photo

  • Hold your phone in landscape, with rotation lock turned off.
  • Hold the camera parallel to the check, not at an angle.
  • Put the check on a dark, solid surface that doesn’t reflect light.
  • Use even light with no shadows across the check, and don’t use the flash.
  • Lay the check flat, with no folds or creases.
  • Keep the whole check inside the guides on the screen, with all four corners showing.

What happens next

The check goes into your checking account. The Deposit check page says it takes 3 to 5 days for the funds to be available. While a deposit is under review, Transactions shows it with the payment method Check Deposit and the status Pending Review. A declined deposit shows there as Rejected (see Troubleshooting).

Troubleshooting

Common reasons are:
  • the photo wasn’t clear, or didn’t show the whole check
  • the amount you entered doesn’t match the check
  • the check was already deposited
If the photo was the problem, you can deposit the check again right away with a new photo (see Take a clear photo). If it’s still declined after that, email support@every.io with the check’s amount and the date you deposited it.
Email support@every.io with the check’s amount and the date you deposited it, and ask what to do next.
Email support@every.io and include the message shown beneath “Unable to load check deposit” on the page.
