- Use a HomeStreet deposit-taking ATM.
- Visit a HomeStreet branch drive-through Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.

How HomeStreet Bank can help:
When will I see the payment in my HomeStreet account?
The IRS will be making payments as direct deposits starting April 15, which you can see in your recent transactions on the HomeStreet Bank mobile app and HomeStreet.com. They will mail check payments starting April 20. All payments will be in waves and continue over several weeks.
Can I cash a stimulus check through HomeStreet if I'm not a HomeStreet customer?
We only deposit or cash checks for existing customers. You can open a HomeStreet checking account online or in a branch (via appointment).
