Mobile check deposit

You can cash a check in the PayPal app by taking a photo of both sides of your signed check and choosing when you want to receive the money in your digital wallet.

Here’s how to cash a check from your PayPal app:

There is no fee when you get your check cashed in 10 days. If you want expedited check cashing, the fee is 1% for payroll and government checks with a pre-printed signature, with a minimum fee of $5. And 5% for all other accepted check types, including hand-signed payroll and government checks, with a minimum fee of $5.

PayPal lets you manage all your money in one app, and the Cash a Check feature in the PayPal app allows you to cash checks on your mobile device and have them credited to your PayPal Balance account. You simply take a picture of the check you want to cash and send it to us for review. Once your check is approved, you have the option to pay a fee and get your money credited to your PayPal Balance account, usually in minutes.
