Correctly analysis and recording money deposited in to the bank account is a critically important element of the accounting process. As such, the banking deposit slip as shown below (front and reverse sides) is a very important accounting source document.
Although only the "stub" is retained by the person taking the money to the bank, and the main part is kept by the bank, it is possible to request a copy from the bank at a later stage. However banks will usually charge a fee for this service.
The "stub" is that part shown on the left side of illustration below "Front Side of Bank Deposit Slip" or on the right side of the reverse (see second illustration below - "Reverse Side of Bank Deposit Slip").
