You are required to retain deposited cheques for a minimum 90 days once deposited. After depositing your cheque with Deposit Anywhere™, simply write “Deposited” across the front of the cheque (without obscuring any material information on the cheque) and store it in a safe spot – your credit union may need it for verification purposes. After the 90 day retention period, cheques can be destroyed by marking them VOID or shredding them. There is no need to mail in the physical cheque.
