You do not need to mail in the cheque to your branch.

What types of cheque can I deposit?

You can deposit (a) Personal Cheques, (b) Certified Cheques, (c) Canadian Bank Money Orders, and (d) Canadian Bank Drafts.

Cheques must be payable in Canadian dollars and drawn on any Canadian financial institution.

Cheques must be payable to, and endorsed by you (on the back of the cheque, sign your name, and write your member #. e.g. 434343 and "For Deposit Only").

We cannot accept an item that is payable to someone else and endorsed over to you.

Can I use the funds right away?

Similar to cheque deposits at an ATM or in-branch, there are often holds on the item and the funds may require time to clear.

Will I see the new balance on my account right away?

No, your account balance will update within three days of the deposit.

How will I know if there is an issue with my deposit after I submit the cheque?

In the unlikely circumstance that there is an issue with the deposit after you receive confirmation during the deposit, you will be contacted by us.

Who do I contact if I have a question or problem?
