Preparing a Bank Deposit

Deposits in the bank protect currency, coins, and checks. When you deposit money, you need to fill a deposit slip (also called a deposit ticket). It contains a detailed record of the deposit made by the depositor. The deposit slip is retained by the bank, and serves as a basis for the entries made on the bank records. 

The process for writing a deposit slip is as follows: 

  1. Enter the date on the date line. 
  1. Enter the total amount of currency and coins in the currency line. 
  2. List checks separately by ABA numbers. 
  3. Add the amounts and enter the total amount in the total line. 
  4. Arrange the checks in the order listed on the deposit slip. 
  5. Hand over the deposit slip, cash, and checks to a bank teller. 
  6. Verify the deposit, deposit slip, and issue a receipt to the depositor. This receipt may be a machine–printed form or stamped and initialed by the teller (Banker).
