hi friend. if you could remember, i am a collecting agent of our agency here. so i have daily transaction with the bank. and that makes me fill up the deposit slip in the office before going there to deposit the previous day/s collection. that makes me save some time in the bank.

hello dear Martin, Nah...i don't have money... I just want to know how other mylotters do their transactions(hehehe) I always fill up the form at home,i don't like filling it at the bank,becoz sometimes,the bank doesn't have much clients,so,i can go to the teller soon as i arrive at the bank...or,when the bank has too much clients...i can go directly to the other department(with less people having transaction)and make my transaction. uhmnn...i don't have money...i only have much credit

Hi jaiho. I normally fill them out at home. That way I don't feel rushed or worry about making mistakes while filling it out. There was one time, not too long ago, when I filled out the deposit slip when I was at the bank. I had actually planned on depositing the money through the ATM machine, but as it wasn't giving out receipts I was weary of putting the check in that way. So I decided to go up to a teller instead. And as I didn't already have a deposit slip filled out I had to fill one out there. On the plus side the bank was pretty much empty that day, so I didn't feel hurried at all! LOL Happy mylotting!

Hello sacmon, There is always some convenient when filling out forms at home. And yes,since Atm doesn't have any receipt when we deposit money..so i guess it is still much better to deposit our money thru the bank(over the counter). I always fill up forms as long as i had extra forms with me at home...and if i run out of forms...that's the only time that i had to fill up form at the bank..but,it rarely happened. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

hello jaiho! i usually fill them up at the bank. coz since i am not always doing transactions there, i don't keep deposit/withdrawal slips with me. but i think if i am a regular client. i guess i will choose to fill them up at home for convenience.

hello amiga, Nice to see u again...and,Good morning dear Well,i always had few slips with me,and i always fill up the slip at home,for much convenience. Esp,if i need to see the manager,i want to go directly with my transaction(the concern person). It is better if you took few slips with you so,you don't need to fill up when you were at the bank...it more convenience dear. have a good Sunday amiga

hello jai! good morning too! hehe yeah, i know that its more convenient but really, not that applicable for me. hehe anyway, i have worked in the bank before and that's what i saw to our regular clients, they usually fill out the slips, that way the service for them is also faster and they don't spend much time in the bank...sometimes filling up of slips also consume some time...

I haven't been to my bank in a long time every thing I do is electronically done. By the chance I do have a deposit I just swipe my card at the counter and they fill out the slip for me.

hello KRC, Yes,filling up the form or bank slip at the bank cannot be avoided,but,if we have time and had some forms at home,it is better to fill up the form at home before going to bank to avoid some problem. Have a good day always and thanks for your response

I don`t go to the bank since i am physically challenged but my man /Friday does the banking work for me. Therefore i fill all the bank slips whether they are withdrawal checks or deposit checks in the slip books and check books which i have with me at home itself. when i was walking and that was a long time ago i used to fill the slips in the bank itself.

hello veejay, I understand your situation dear...sometimes i also did the same...sending my son or daughter to make the transaction,that is why i always had extra form at home. Thanks for your response dear and have a day always

I like filling up the form when I am in the bank. But lately since it is such a hassle because there are a lot of people lining up, I would much prefer to fill up a form at home.

hello sublime, Yes,this is one reason why i fill up form/slip at home rather than at the bank. And also there are times that,the teller is already available and all i have to do is make my transaction soon as i enter the bank. thanks for your response and have a good day always

Hi, Jaiho! For withdrawal, I don't usually use the slips because it can easily be done at the ATM. However, when I have to pay the monthly installment for instance, our car, my hubby and I would usually bring home some extra deposit slips with us. So, whenever we are planning to go to the bank, we will fill it up the form at home. I think it's much more convenient because upon reaching the bank, we only have to grab a number and wait for our turn.

hello corry, Yes,same reason my dear...i also would like to have my number upon reaching the bank...and sometimes,there were times that,clients are not too many,so,there were instances that,when i arrived at the bank,one teller is free...and so,i can directly with my transaction. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

I don't withdraw through withdrawal slips anymore.I use my ATM card and I think most people nowadays,do the same.As regards deposit,I fill up the slip in the bank itself although don't think it makes a difference at all.But just in case you are a novice and need help filling up the slip,then you could use the expertise of the bankers available by filling it up in the bank itself...:)

hello nitin, I also had an ATM for withdrawal purposes before..but,i had a very experience with it. My account was hacked and a certain amount is withdrawn...since then,i close my ATM and put my money in a passbook..back to the basic. I don't want to risks some money anymore...that is why i am doing all my transactions at the bank nowadays. thanks for your response and have a good day always

Hi, in the bank we get the deposit slips and the withdrawing ones.so it is very good to fill them itself at the bank.if we have any sort of query we can ask and fill with right information.Letters are written at home and submitted as for an issue of ATM card or a cheque book.the bank officials can cooperate in helping and guide us what we actually need.

hello umabharti, you had some point on this matter. but,still i would prefer to fill up forms at home and would leave the space blank(if i am not sure)and...ask any help from the bank when i get there...at least,i already had fill up some basic information needed. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

In Australia Banks have gone paperless basically. All you need at the bank is your card and thats all. The only time you have to fill out a deposit slip is if you want to deposit a cheque but apart from that its basically paperless provided you know your pin number. We also have phone and internet banking, so if you want to, you do not have to even go to the bank.

hello cute, Well,here in our country,we can also do some online transactions...like paying our bills...and other transactions. But people here still prefer to make the personal transactions...and so am i since my account was hacked...i even blocked my ATM card and return to the manual passbook transaction after that incident happened to me. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

I normally have to fill up the slip at the bank because I rarely have extra slips to fill up at home .The fact of the matter is whenever I go to the bank and I am finished with my transaction ,I always just slip out and forget to take extra slips and even if I do take extras,I always forget to take them back to the bank when Iam going again or worse tehy end up getting washed in my clothes

hello ron, I see your point why you choose to fill up forms at the bank. Sometimes,i also fill out forms at the bank when i run out of extra ones at home,becoz,i also forget to take extra slips after doing bank transactions. There were also times that,i want to change some amount i've written when i am already at the bank... thanks for your response and have a good day always

i usually fill out at home i often times get deposit or withdrawal slip and carry it at home so that i would not be difficult for me to fill up when sometimes it is peak hours.i usually withdraw or deposit at 12 noon lunch time so there are many people in the bank so no need to fill out form because i already fill in the forms in the home or work dont add to hassle and instead of fill-up forms i fall in line it much easier saves time.

hi there! I usually fill it up at the bank. My sister and I are completely different, she usually take some forms at home for future use and fill it up before going in the bank. She doesn't want to waste time since our bank has too many customers and you need to wait for your number.. that usually takes forever.lolz With me, I really don't care filling it up at the bank.

hello danity, Same reason why i always wanted to have extra forms/slips with me at home and filling it up before going to the bank to avoid the inconvenience.(queue) Esp when it is Monday...bank is always filled with depositors and people having other transactions. I also tried to avoid going to the bank during Monday,but sometimes it cannot be avoided. thanks for your response and have a good day always dear

I make it a habit that I fill up deposit/withdrawal slip at home if I have extra forms availabe. But when the ATM is offline just like yesterday, I fill up the withdrawal form in the bank. I also fill up forms for sending money before for western union at home to avoid unexpected delays.

hello maria, Some people doesn't like filling up slip or forms at home,just like what they've said,they might drop it and it is risky. but, for me,i always prefer to fill up the slip at home like you...to avoid some inconvenience at the bank. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

hello ralph, Well,maybe it depends on your situation. If you don't have extra slips at home...of course you will surely fill up forms at the bank. Or,maybe,when you are not prepared to go to the bank...and,suddenly you had this urgent need to go...then,you don't have much time to fill up form before going to the bank. thanks for your response and have a good day always
