I know this is different but I thought you couldn't cash a check in someone else's name as what would stop someone from stealing a check and cashing that. Thanks for the help! | Depositing a check and direct deposit is the same concept, they are both deposits, and by using a smartphone app to deposit the check it will be automated like your direct deposit
If your bank accepts deposits in mismatched names than it should be ok
The key is to have a Bank Account that accepts mismatched deposits. Because whether the mismatched deposit came as a direct deposit or from a deposited check, they are both mismatched names
You could bring the argument that you hacked into someone's PayPal and added your bank and made a withdrawal, which is the same as taking someone's check and depositing it into your bank
They are both deposits in mismatched names
So make sure you have the correct bank account that will accept them
And there is a difference between depositing and cashing the check, you want to deposit the check , do not try and cash it
