What is a restrictive endorsement stamp?

By Forinfos - 12/02/2025 - 0 comments

According to accounting website AccountingTools, restrictive endorsement stamps are used to restrict further action regarding a financial instrument, usually a check. This is done so that the check or other instrument is no longer a negotiable and cannot be passed from the stated payee to a third party.

As stated on AccountingTools, an example of a restrictive endorsement is the "for deposit only" stamp used by most companies on the back of a check. This stamp effectively limits action on the check by the stated payee to depositing the check in their bank account. These stamps are mostly used by businesses.
