I don't think I have communicated my question clearly enough. I not asking how to entry a deposit into the ledger of my QB, instead I'm asking how to ACTUALLY deposit he check into my account. I understand there are no physical branches to the QB Cash account so how do I DEPOSIT THE FUNDS?
Thanks for getting back to us, @grahappa.
The only way to put the money into your QuickBooks Cash account is by depositing the to your bank. Then, transfer it to your Cash account. You may need to set up an account you already linked for online banking a second time for QuickBooks Cash.
Here's how:
QuickBooks will send two small deposits to the account within the next 3 days. After you get the confirmation email, come back to QuickBooks to verify the transactions.
Once done, you can transfer your money into your Cash account.

It would really be great if QB Cash would allow deposits of a physical check. I want to close my traditional business checking account with a major bank chain. They charge me a fee to have my info imported into QB. QB suggests the only way to deposit into QB cash is to deposit to the bank (the one I want to eliminate) and transfer the funds to QB cash. Too many steps and fees. I thought QB cash was supposed to simplify things for business owners. Perhaps a rethinking. Otherwise this platform of QB cash is def not for me. I would assume many others as well.
Hello, Paul.
Thanks for sharing your suggestions and thoughts about the current deposit options in QuickBooks Cash.
Having the option to use a physical check for deposits would definitely simplify things for QuickBooks Cash. More deposit options might be available in the future, so you'll want to visit our QuickBooks Blog for updates.
For now, I would suggest sending feedback to our developers. In QuickBooks, click the Gear icon, then select Feedback.
If you're still considering QuickBooks Cash's other features, I'll post these articles again for references:

If you have other concerns about the features and functions in QuickBooks, I'm happy to hear your thoughts again. Just reply here and I'll lay down the details and options.
Has any progress been made in this regard yet? I'm in the same situation of wanting to change to QB Cash for my business bank, but I need to be able to accept cash and checks.
Thanks for joining the thread, @Mickey-2. There are no updates recently.
I understand that the ability to use a physical check for deposits would make things easier for QuickBooks Cash. We always want our customer's success as we're in progress with making some features possible.
In the meantime, I would recommend sending feedback to our product developers by following my peer's steps, @jamespaul. This way, they'll know that this is crucial to your business.

Hey Quickbooks Cash Product Team - I'd like to use the Quickbooks Cash bank account and close my other bank accounts, but not being able to make mobile deposits for physical checks is a deal-breaker.
This is the first banking service I have run into that doesn't offer mobile check deposit capability which has been standard for many years. Please add this as a high priority to your feature list.
This is just another reason why I feel Quickbooks is anything but that.
This was working just fine with WaveApps.

If some lazy accountant says to move to quickbooks online because they don't want to learn where wave put their buttons, don't listen to them.
Now I have more BS fees so that accountant could charge me BS fees of their own as a reseller.
I am upset about it all. Thinking about just moving back to Wave and giving my customers a discount for having to enter their CC information in QB online to pay their last few bills.
QB team. It’s 2021. Time to offer mobile deposits. Makes me wonder what’s in it for you to not offer this feature. Slowly walking away from Quickbooks….
Blah blah blah…..
QuickBooks Why am I being forced to use a different account to make cash and check deposits. I had to jump through hoops this week to make a deposit. I had to deposit a check to my other corporate bank I was glad I had not closed. Then I withdrew cash thinking I could deposit at the Allpoint ATM. That was not the case. Even though Allpoint accepts deposits, the quickbooks account is restricted and will not allow me to make a deposit. Then I called and the person that answered from India told me to go to any bank and make a deposit. (I don't believe that advice is correct) I was skeptical and so I asked if there any other way. He said you can reload your card at any CVS or Walmart. I went to CVS to reload $1000. The lady said the limit is $500 but yes you can do that. Being fed up and wasting too much of my time I did the reload. It ended up costing me $4.95 for each cash reload, nearly $10
To sum things up. I am dissapointed that a company such as Intuit can't use a better service than Greendot to offer a bank account.
I am an accountant and up to now love all your services. This service is great while you receive electronic payments. The deposit services that are lacking almost makes it so tedious that I am not going to talk my clients into using your bank services.
Choose a better service than Greendot prepaid cards. There are many services out there that are much better than that.
Terribly disappointed accountant
The only work around is to process a payment by typing the routing and bank account number into the ACH fields, technically you have the authorization to process an ACH transaction because you are holding a physical check provided by your client. Until Quickbooks cash enables the deposit check feature like a major bank. Hope this help.
Wow. This is ridiculous that Quickbooks can't deposit a check into a BANK ACCOUNT! This is seriously the only reason I switched to Quickbooks. I guess it's time to cancel.
That is a great idea! Have you done this or know of it being done without any issues?
Speechless
I am surprised that this is not working yet. I could even survive by mailing in checks for the short term, but otherwise I still need to setup a normal bank which takes away a bunch of the advantage of the account.
This feature is coming very soon!
It is now referenced in QBO's blog:
Mobile Check Deposit: Mobile check deposit⁹ gives small businesses the ability to accept checks from customers or vendors and deposit those funds into their account seamlessly. Mobile check deposit will begin rolling out to eligible QuickBooks Checking customers in the coming weeks.
Can you please say more about when Mobile Banking will be available, and who is an eligible customer?
Thanks for sharing this. My list on why to dump QBO for Wave keeps growing.
If this is correct, mobile deposit is coming in the next few weeks. Stunning if this is true! They may have finally seen how important this is to small businesses!
You communicated your question correctly. The responses for Quickbooks tend to be wrong more than they are right. I'm still trying to figure out if they're poorly trained people or poorly programmed bots.
I followed your instructions. I still don’t understand what happens with the physical paper check I’m trying to deposit to my new QB Checking account. Shouldn’t I have to take a pic of it or mail it somewhere for the funds to be captured? I would think QBs would need the routing number and acct number from the check.
Thanks for visiting the Community, @Arbordave. Let me share further insights about depositing funds to your QuickBooks Checking account so you can manage your transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Your QuickBooks Checking account also holds real money like any other bank account. However, you don't need to take a picture or mail your physical check for your funds to be captured. You'll have to deposit it to your external bank account and transfer the money to your QuickBooks Checking account.
After you set up your QuickBooks Checking account, connect an external bank account to transfer money to and from it. The process is separate from online banking. You may need to set up an account you already linked for online banking a second time for QuickBooks Checking. To do this, here's how:
QuickBooks will send two small deposits to the account within the next 3 days. Then, verify the transactions. In QBO, go to the Cash Flow menu and select Verify bank. Then, follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.
Once you're done connecting an external bank account, you're set to transfer money in and out of your QuickBooks Checking account. For the step-by-step guide, please refer to this article: Use your QuickBooks Checking account (Step 3).
Then, go to the Banking menu and categorize your QuickBooks Checking transactions.
Also, to learn more about everything in the Cash Flow menu including the QuickBooks Checking account, envelopes, and the Cash Flow planner, I'd recommend checking out this article: QuickBooks Checking accounts and the Cash Flow menu.
