I either make payable to the bank for my HELOC, or my CC.
I did have one teller I have never met before try to tell me I had to deposit them in one of my checking accounts first... and the manager at the branch I usually use called while I was being told this nonsense called me while I was standing there. He had me put the phone on speaker and told her to do what I asked, deposit those as payment on my HELOC.
I've had the same bank for over 20 years, and I have always had a side business aside from working full time. MO, checks, paypal transfers for Ebay resale, MO, cash, checks for T-shirt business, and lastly, ridiculous amounts of small bills from concession trailer at fairs... so me depositing odd things is MY usual normal!
