"Safe Payment" "Safe to collect" or 'Safe to cash"


Explanation:
It basically means that your deposit shows no reason for illegality therefore it shall be cashed without further investigation.

subject to final collection


Explanation:
This is the translation given in the first dictionary quoted below.
The second one gives "under reserve"

Either way, it means that the cheque won't be credited to your account until it's been accepted by the drawer's bank.

Is there any accentuation? If so, it means "he/she/you(respectfully) saved it in a good place."


Explanation:
Depending upon the accentuation, it may mean:
"I save in a good place." But in such case, and noting that it appears
on a deposit slip, I would think it would say "Salvo en un buen cobro" if it
meant "I save in a good place." Perhaps it means "A good place to save."
I would have to see the document.

Anyway, it means something related to this.
