First, open your Wells Fargo app and log in. Look for the option that says “Deposit Checks”—it’s usually front and center, like a friendly greeter. Tap it, and the app will ask you to choose the account where the money should land (checking or savings—your call).
This is where the magic starts. The app will prompt you to endorse the back of the check—sign your name, and write “For Mobile Deposit Only” right under it. Don’t skip that line; it’s like a secret handshake that tells the bank, “Hey, I’m doing this the smart way.”
