Does Atlas Accept Checks?

Updated this week

Atlas does not accept checks for any type of payment or deposit. This includes personal checks, cashier’s checks, money orders, or checks sent by a bill-pay service.


If a check is mailed to us, it will be securely destroyed and will not be deposited or credited to your account.

What to Use Instead

You can make payments or add money using supported methods only:

  • ACH transfers from a connected bank account

  • Instant transfers via debit card

  • Your Atlas Deposit Account

  • Direct deposit from your employer
