A bank deposit stamp — also called a check endorsement
stamp or "For Deposit Only" stamp — lets businesses,
offices, and individuals quickly endorse checks with a consistent, bank-ready
impression every time. Instead of hand-writing your endorsement on every check,
a single press of a self-inking deposit stamp imprints your
account number, business name, and "For Deposit Only" text cleanly and correctly.
PrestoDirect offers 11 styles of custom deposit stamps — from
3-line self-inking models for high-volume payroll processing to slim portable
stamps for remote and mobile deposit use. Every stamp is custom-made with your
exact text to match your bank's endorsement requirements.
🏢
Business & Payroll
Process high volumes of business checks quickly. A self-inking
endorsement stamp handles payroll, vendor payments, and accounts
receivable without hand-writing every check back.
📱
Mobile & Remote Deposit
A mobile deposit stamp ensures your checks are properly
marked "For Mobile Deposit Only" before scanning — a requirement at most
major banks including Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America.
🔒
Restrictive Endorsements
A "For Deposit Only" stamp is a restrictive endorsement
— it legally limits how the check can be processed, protecting your business
from fraud and unauthorized cashing by third parties.
🏠
Property Managers & Nonprofits
Landlords, HOAs, churches, and nonprofits rely on deposit stamps
for business checks to process rent payments, dues, and donations
consistently without requiring a signature on every check.
Types of Bank Deposit Stamps — Which Is Right for You?
All three styles of custom deposit stamps are available at
PrestoDirect. Each is custom-made with your account number, business name,
and endorsement text.
Most Popular
⬡
Self-Inking Deposit Stamp
The self-inking deposit stamp is the top choice for
businesses, property managers, and anyone processing checks in volume.
A built-in ink pad re-inks automatically — no separate pad needed.
Available in 3, 4, 5, and 6-line configurations to fit your required
endorsement text.
Best for: high-volume check processing
Up to 5,000 impressions per pad
Multiple ink colors available
3–6 lines of custom text
◈
Pre-Inked Deposit Stamp
The pre-inked deposit stamp produces sharper,
finer-line impressions than self-inking models — ideal when your
endorsement includes small text like account numbers that need to
be perfectly legible. Ink is stored inside the die for clean,
low-pressure impressions.
Best for: fine detail, account numbers
Crisp, professional impressions
Refillable with pre-ink formula
Low-maintenance design
⬢
Wood Handle Rubber Stamp
The classic rubber stamp for checks is a
cost-effective option for low-volume use. Requires a separate
ink pad. Simple, durable, and easy to re-ink — a reliable
choice for occasional deposit stamping or backup use.
Best for: occasional use, backup stamp
Most affordable option
Works with any stamp ink pad
Long-lasting rubber die
What Text Should Your "For Deposit Only" Stamp Include?
The text on your bank deposit endorsement stamp should match
your bank's specific requirements. Most banks require at minimum a restrictive
endorsement phrase and your account number. Here's what most businesses include:
Required by most banks
- "For Deposit Only" — the restrictive endorsement phrase
- Account number — your business checking account number
- Bank name — some banks require this, others don't
Optional but recommended
- Business name — confirms the payee identity
- "For Mobile Deposit Only" — if submitting via app
- "Pay to the Order of [Bank Name]" — for full endorsements
- Routing number — rarely required but sometimes requested
🏦
Pro tip: Before ordering your custom deposit stamp,
call your bank and ask for their exact endorsement stamp requirements.
Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, TD Bank, and most regional banks
each have slightly different specifications for what must appear in the
endorsement area. We can customize your stamp to match any bank's format.
Bank Deposit Stamp — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bank deposit stamp?
A bank deposit stamp — also called a check
endorsement stamp or deposit endorsement stamp
— is a custom stamp that imprints your "For Deposit Only" text, account
number, and business name on the back of checks. It creates a restrictive
endorsement that limits how the check can be processed, speeding up
deposits and protecting against fraud.
What is a "For Deposit Only" stamp?
A "For Deposit Only" stamp is a specific type of
restrictive endorsement stamp. When stamped on the back of a check,
it legally restricts the check so it can only be deposited into the
named account — it cannot be cashed or transferred. This is the most
common form of check endorsement stamp used by
businesses nationwide.
What is a self-inking endorsement stamp?
A self-inking endorsement stamp has a built-in ink
pad that re-inks the die automatically after each impression. You
press once, lift, and the pad rotates back into position — ready for
the next check. No separate ink pad needed. Ideal for processing large
volumes of checks quickly and cleanly.
Where do you stamp a check for deposit?
Stamp the back of the check in the endorsement area — typically a
1.5-inch section at the top of the check's reverse side marked
"Endorse Here." Keep your deposit stamp impression
within this zone and avoid stamping over the MICR line (the magnetic
numbers at the bottom of the front of the check).
Do deposit stamps work with mobile and remote deposits?
Yes — a mobile deposit stamp is specifically designed
for this. Many banks now require checks submitted via mobile app to be
marked "For Mobile Deposit Only" rather than just "For Deposit Only."
We offer stamps with this exact text. Always confirm your bank's mobile
deposit endorsement requirements before use.
What is a bank stamp for verification?
A bank stamp for verification is used by bank tellers
and financial institutions to mark checks as received, verified, or
processed. These differ from deposit endorsement stamps — they are
used by the bank, not the depositor. PrestoDirect offers custom
office and bank teller stamps for institutional use as well.
What is an endorsement stamp?
An endorsement stamp is any stamp used to endorse
a check on the back. The most common type is a restrictive endorsement
stamp — one that includes "For Deposit Only" to restrict how the check
is processed. Business endorsement stamps typically
also include the company name, account number, and sometimes the
bank name to meet specific institutional requirements.
Can I customize my deposit stamp text?
Yes — every custom deposit stamp from PrestoDirect
is made to order with your exact text. Choose from 3, 4, 5, or 6
lines of custom text. Common configurations include "For Deposit Only"
/ business name / account number, or "For Mobile Deposit Only" /
account number / bank name. We match your bank's format exactly.

Self-Inking vs. Pre-Inked vs. Wood Handle — Which Deposit Stamp Is Best?
Choosing the right bank deposit stamp comes down to how many checks you process, what text needs to fit, and whether you need a stamp for the office or on the go. Here's how each style compares.
Best for Business
Self-Inking Deposit Stamp
The self-inking deposit stamp is the right choice for any business processing checks regularly. No separate ink pad — it re-inks automatically after every impression. Available in 3, 4, 5, and 6-line configurations so you can fit your full endorsement text cleanly. Up to 5,000 impressions per ink pad refill.
Best for Daily business check processing, payroll, AP
Impressions Up to 5,000 per pad
Lines available 3, 4, 5, or 6 lines of custom text
Ink colors Multiple colors available
Pre-Inked Deposit Stamp
The pre-inked deposit stamp produces the sharpest, finest impressions — ideal when your endorsement text includes small account numbers that need to be perfectly legible. Ink is stored inside the die itself for clean, low-pressure results with no smearing. Refillable when ink runs low.
Best for Fine text, account numbers, moderate volume
Impression quality Sharpest available
Maintenance Refillable, low maintenance
Volume Low to moderate
Wood Handle Rubber Stamp
The classic rubber stamp for checks is the most affordable option and works with any standard stamp ink pad. A good backup or occasional-use stamp — reliable, durable, and easy to re-ink. Not ideal for high-volume daily use but a solid low-cost choice for low-frequency depositors.
Best for Occasional use, backup stamp
Cost Most affordable option
Ink pad Separate pad required
Lifespan Long-lasting with re-inking
How to Use a Bank Deposit Stamp Correctly
Using your deposit endorsement stamp correctly ensures your checks are accepted by your bank — whether you're depositing in person, at an ATM, or via mobile app.
1
Find the endorsement area
Flip the check over. The endorsement area is the 1.5-inch section at the top of the check's reverse side, typically marked "Endorse Here" or with a line. This is where your deposit stamp should be applied.
2
Stamp within the endorsement zone
Press your self-inking endorsement stamp straight down with firm, even pressure. Keep the entire impression within the endorsement area. Never let the stamp impression overlap the MICR line (the magnetic numbers on the front bottom of the check) or the routing/account numbers.
3
Confirm legibility before depositing
Check that all text is clearly readable — especially the account number. A smeared or partial impression can delay processing. For mobile deposit stamps, ensure the full "For Mobile Deposit Only" text and account number are completely visible within the camera frame when photographing the check.
4
Deposit promptly after stamping
A "For Deposit Only" stamp creates a restrictive endorsement — once stamped, the check is restricted to deposit only and cannot be cashed. Deposit it promptly. Most banks recommend depositing checks within 90 days of the issue date.
How Many Lines Does Your Deposit Stamp Need?
PrestoDirect's self-inking bank deposit stamps are available in 3, 4, 5, and 6-line configurations. Here's how to choose the right number of lines for your endorsement text.
| Lines | Typical Configuration | Best For | Price |
| 3 Line |
For Deposit Only / Business Name / Account Number |
Simple business endorsements, most common setup |
$16.00 |
| 4 Line |
For Deposit Only / Business Name / Account Number / Bank Name |
Banks requiring bank name in endorsement |
$17.00 |
| 5 Line |
For Deposit Only / Business Name / Account Number / Bank / Branch |
Institutions requiring full bank details |
$18.00 |
| 6 Line |
For Deposit Only / Name / DBA / Account / Bank / Additional text |
Complex endorsements, DBA names, multiple identifiers |
$19.00 |
💡
Not sure how many lines you need? Count the distinct pieces of information your bank requires on the endorsement, then add one line for "For Deposit Only." When in doubt, choose one size larger — it's always better to have a line available than to run out of space. Contact us at support@prestodirect.com and we'll help you configure the right stamp.
Pro Tips for Using Your Deposit Stamp
01
Confirm your bank's text requirements first
Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, TD Bank, and other institutions each have slightly different requirements for what must appear in the endorsement area. Call your bank before ordering your custom deposit stamp to confirm the exact text and format they require.
02
Use "For Mobile Deposit Only" if depositing by app
Many banks now require a different endorsement for mobile deposits than for in-person deposits. A mobile deposit stamp with "For Mobile Deposit Only" text protects against double-deposit fraud and meets most major banks' mobile deposit requirements.
03
Test your stamp before processing checks
Always do a test impression on scrap paper first to confirm ink coverage, text alignment, and legibility — especially for account numbers. A partial or smeared impression on a check can delay processing or require a new check entirely.
04
Store your stamp securely
A bank deposit stamp containing your account number should be stored in a locked drawer or safe when not in use. While a "For Deposit Only" stamp limits what someone can do with a check, protecting your account information is still good practice.
05
Re-ink before impressions fade
Don't wait until your self-inking endorsement stamp is completely dry. Refill the ink pad when impressions start to lighten — faded account numbers on check endorsements can cause processing delays or outright rejection at the bank.
06
Order a slim stamp for remote or field use
If you collect and deposit checks away from the office — at client sites, events, or in the field — a slim portable deposit stamp fits in a shirt pocket or briefcase and works without a separate ink pad. Ideal for property managers, mobile businesses, and field teams.
