You can deposit cash and cheques on the same deposit slip.

Account number<\/b><\/h4><p>Enter the account number where you want the money deposited. You may need to enter it on both the cheque and cash sides of the slip. If you\u2019re not sure what your account number is, you can find it on one of your own cheques, through your bank\u2019s online banking platform or by asking a bank teller.<\/p><p>If you want more information on what information is included on a blank cheque or how to properly fill one out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/chequing-accounts\/how-to-write-a-cheque\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">check out our other article<\/a>.<\/p><h4><strong>2. Branch (transit) number<\/strong><\/h4><p>You should be able to find your branch number near the account number at the bottom of your cheque, in your online banking account or by asking a teller. It\u2019s typically a 5-digit number that helps the bank identify exactly which branch your account is tied to, so your deposit goes to the right place.<\/p><h4><b>3. Date<\/b><\/h4><p>Always write the date you\u2019re making the deposit, not the date shown on the cheque. This helps the bank track when the transaction took place and avoids any confusion.<\/p><h4><strong>4. Initials<\/strong><\/h4><p>Depending on your bank, you may be required to provide your name, initials and signature. This serves as an added security measure, confirming that you\u2019re the person making the deposit.<\/p><h4><b>5. Cash <\/b><\/h4><p>Enter the amount of cash you\u2019re depositing, including change. Like in the example above, you may have to enter the number of each type of bill and coin under the Cash Count column. In the Amount column, you would write the total value for each type of bill or coin.<\/p><p>For example, if you were depositing three $5 bills, you would write 3 under Cash Count and $15.00 under Amount. Then, enter the total amount in both Cash Subtotal lines by adding up all of the bills and coins.<\/p><h4><b>6. Cheques<\/b><\/h4><p>Write the value of each cheque in the Amount column on separate lines. Under the Cheque Identification column, write the cheque number. The cheque number is a unique identifying number printed on every cheque in a cheque book. It\u2019s usually printed in the upper right corner of the cheque and as the first set of numbers along the bottom. Add up the total amount of all cheques to write in both Cheque Subtotal lines.<\/p><h4>7. US Cash or Cheques<\/h4><p>Your deposit slip may give you the option to deposit US cash or cheques. Like in the example slip above, you would need to write the total value of US cash and US cheques in the appropriate lines. You can also include the exchange rate in the Rate line.<\/p><h4><strong>8. Total deposit<\/strong><\/h4><p>Write the total amount you\u2019re depositing into your bank account on the line \/ in the box at the bottom by adding up all cash and cheques.<\/p><h3>Do banks in Canada still use deposit slips?<\/h3><p>Deposit slips were once an essential part of everyday banking in Canada, but they\u2019re largely outdated now. They were used to help customers and banks keep accurate records, ensure money was deposited into the correct account and acted as proof of deposit for future reference.<\/p><p>Now, ATMs automatically link deposits to your account using your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/banking\/debit-cards\">debit card<\/a>, and online banking provides instant digital records. Teller-assisted deposits are also tracked electronically, so there\u2019s no need for a handwritten slip.<\/p><p>While a few banks may still provide deposit slips in certain circumstances, like business deposits or for customers who prefer paper records, they\u2019re mostly unnecessary now.<\/p><h3>Alternatives to deposit slips<\/h3><p>Instead of filling out a paper deposit slip to put money into your account, you can use:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Mobile banking apps:<\/strong> Many banks let you deposit cheques by simply taking a picture of the front and back through their mobile app. The funds are then processed and tracked digitally. If you\u2019re not sure how to deposit a cheque online, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/digital-banking\/how-to-deposit-cheque-online\">our guide<\/a> for step-by-step instructions.<\/li><li><strong>ATMs:<\/strong> Most ATMs accept both cash and cheque deposits. Since your debit card is linked to your account, the ATM automatically records the deposit without the need for a slip.<\/li><li><strong>A teller:<\/strong> If you prefer in-person banking, a teller can help you deposit your cheque. You just need to provide your bank card, which will instantly tie the transaction to your account so you can see the deposit on your mobile banking app or next statement.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Depositing cash or cheques into your bank should be simple, but the deposit slips and electronic options can vary from bank to bank. If you make regular deposits, talk with your financial institution about the most efficient way to handle your finances.
