Can a son direct deposit his paycheck into his mothers checking account?

You would have to add his name to the acct. for direct deposit.

He can take a check to the bank and deposit it himself or with you but they would not give him a receipt without you.

The only way to do that is to add his name to the account.

The only way any employer will allow direct deposit is if the person who's pay check is being directly deposited is if their name is on the account.

First is there a reason he will not put them into his own account? It will depend on the bank and the place where he works.
