Check Deposit

How do I sign up for Check Deposit?
Sign up for an Earth Class Mail account, selecting the Professional plan – which includes the option to add Check Deposit service. You'll be invited to enroll as soon as you've finished signing up.

If you're already on our current Professional plan, you can enroll for Check Deposit by logging in and clicking Settings, then Apply For Check Deposit, and following the on-screen instructions.
What are the requirements for enrolling?
You must have an active bank account that's in good standing with a U.S. financial institution. You'll fill out an online form that asks for personal or business identification; this information will be validated and must be correct. The following types of businesses are not eligible for the check deposit service:
  • Check-cashing and other intermediary money-service businesses
  • Businesses that are primarily third-party resellers through eBay, Amazon, etc.
  • Businesses that are primarily telemarketing services
  • Unsavory or illegal businesses
How long do deposits take?
Funds are typically available in your bank account within two business days, if you make the deposit request through the Earth Class Mail Web interface before 12:00 noon, Pacific Time.
What happens with returned or fraudulent checks?
It's no different than what would happen if you deposited it at the bank in person. If a check is returned, you'll typically be notified within 2-3 business days. You'll be charged a returned-check fee of $15, and will be able to have the check shipped to you or to pick it up if it's stored at one of our street addresses.
