When you deposited checks in your maiden name, did you sign the checks with your maiden name?? Thanks!

Advice from a Banker

If the check is made out to your Maiden name but the bank account is in your married:

1. Sign your maiden
2. Underneath sign your married

If your bank is a pain in the A$$ and your check is over either $500 or $1000 (depending on your banks double endorsed policy) :
Carry a copy of your marraige license and get the deposit approved at Customer Service so it doesn't get returned

Best way to avoid all of this:
When changing your Bank accounts, always have them put BOTH married and maiden name on them. They will do this as long as they see a marraige license and it saves a lot of 'Check' hassles.

Re: Suzanne & Heather

Yep ... agree with Liz ... I worked for a Bank too. Most of the time, if you don't even bother asking them and it's for deposit only ... it will just go through. I just sign my maiden name then married, for deposit only, acct.# and that's it!
