I’ve done this with a phone call to the bank. Transfered money from my account to my daughter’s account.
I’m glad you got the problem solved.
Maybe, for future reference, you should set up an joint account with your daughter, just in case you need to use it.
Don’t they support email money transfers in the US?
I go to my bank website, set up an email money transfer and the bank emails her a link. She inputs the password which I provide to her separately and the money is instantly in her account. No fees (well, included in my monthly fee)
I don’t know why you people don’t just say what the OP wants to hear…
All fucking banks are fucking money-grubbing pieces of shit!
There, that wasn’t so hard, was it? And frankly, I agree.
What fun would THAT be?
No the US really does not have a good common way to cheaply transmit money between individuals.
My wife gives her parents money every month. She has it setup though automatic bill pay. Similarly to how people pay their credit cards and other bills online. I don’t know if it was a hassle to set it up or not.
You just…you just don’t get it, do you. 
I and my mom use Chase, and my mom has instantly transferred money to my account. A++ would buy again
I can top that. My credit union is in New Mexico and I am in Nevada. I haven’t been to a branch since 1997.
Yep, 1997.
And there is no way I will change from the credit union. It rocks. Fast service, low fees, no B.S.

Some days, I wonder if Interac surpasses universal health care as the best Canadian achievement.
Couldn’t she just… you know, wait til next weekend?
My black cat: I’m still a member of a credit union in Michigan and I live in Australia.
I can call it “my credit union” as I don’t have a local one, exactly.
Nope. Well…not really. Her 12-year-old, 220,000 mile car went tits-up last weekend. She was able to borrow a car for a week, but that’s about as long as she can realistically do that, plus she’s found the car she wants, for the price she wants, and after this weekend her travel schedule gets really hairy. So, there’s a lot of stuff all coming to a head at once.
Well, as long as we’re naming names, Mr. Horseshoe and I bank with Wells Fargo, and even before we were married it was no big whoop to set it up to transfer money between our respective accounts (which we’d had since before we were even dating) for free.
Not that this really helps the OP, I suppose, but in case someone else out there is lurking and reading along for similar suggestions… ** waves to the lurkers **
My bank (RBC) lets me transfer money between accountholders pretty much instantaneously.
Why not make the check payable to the dealership?
Mine too (BOA).
Ditto this. My roommate used to pay her rent to me this way and, when it came time for it, I returned her deposit the same way. Online, instant, no fees.
Why not read the thread?
Just a note, most banks won’t allow a client to cash a check for more than they have in their account, in case the check is no good. So she would not likely be able to cash her dad’s check and re-deposit. Now, depending on the bank or the relationship she has with her bank, she may be able to get a manager to override this. Also, depending upon the relationship, many banks will allow her to use a special next-day deposit ticket so the funds are credited next business day.
Well, if dad has an account at the exact same bank, the teller can pop into dad’s account, see if the funds are available, and then cash it. That’s no different than the following example: my dad writes me a check off of his account at Wells Fargo, but I bank elsewhere. So, I go to Wells Fargo, show them my ID, give them a thumb print and $5, and they’ll cash the check for me. Why? Because they can instantly see whether the check is good or not.
