There are two ways to handle check deposits with US Global Mail:
Upload it to your banking platform digitally using the scanned image of the check
Deposit check via mail
Both methods are free as in we don't charge any additional handling fees for check deposit, unlike all other virtual mailbox providers. You just cover standard shipping and any optional repacking fees using deposit by mail method.
Here’s how to make sure your check deposit goes smoothly:
Before You Begin:
First, call your bank—specifically, your local branch—and ask:
“Do you accept checks by mail?” (Most do, but some don’t. Best to ask.)
If they say yes, get the name of a contact person. You’ll want to address it to them for speed and security.
How to Request a Check Deposit from the mailbox
Log In To Your Account and select the mail (checks) you want to deposit
Choose your bank or click “Manage bank accounts” to add one
Add your bank’s mailing address. If it's your first time, add and save to your bank address book.
Troubleshooting Common Issues

Follow the manual steps outlined above to add the bank’s mailing address.
Entering the Correct State for Deposits
When prompted to enter a state for your bank during the check deposit setup, ensure you select the state where the check will be deposited. This is typically the state associated with the deposit address you intend to use. Providing the correct state ensures that the deposit is processed without issues.
