# Lockbox

> Receive checks and mail through a dedicated mailing address.

A lockbox is a physical mailing address managed by Lemma where your practice can receive checks and other mail. Checks are automatically deposited into your linked bank account.

## How it works

1. Lemma assigns a unique mailing address to your account
2. Instruct payers (insurance companies, patients, etc.) to mail checks to this address
3. When mail arrives, it is scanned and logged in the [**Lockbox**](https://app.getlemma.com/_/lockbox) section of your dashboard
4. Checks are deposited automatically into your linked bank account

## Viewing lockbox mail

The [Lockbox page](https://app.getlemma.com/_/lockbox) shows all inbound mail items with:

* **Date received**
* **Mail type** — check or general mail
* **Status** — whether the item has been processed

Select a mail item to view its scanned image and deposit details.

<Tip>
  Check deposits from your lockbox appear as transactions in your [transaction
  history](/guides/transactions) once they settle.
