Abstract: A method of making, tracking and confirming the receipt of bank deposits by a user to a financial institution is disclosed. The method includes first accessing a user account on a database, entering deposit information including the account number and amount of the intended deposit on the database to create an electronic deposit record, and then encoding the deposit information in a machine readable format. The information is then associated with the encoded deposit information in close proximity with the deposit, creating a deposit package. The package is then transmitted to a financial institution or armored car carrier where the machine readable encoded deposit information is read and transmitted to a database that contains information about the account and status of the deposit.
