can you deposit money into an atm

Yes, you can deposit money into an ATM. Most modern ATMs allow deposit of cash into your checking or savings accounts. The general steps include inserting your debit card, entering your PIN, selecting the deposit option, choosing the account, inserting the cash (often without needing an envelope in newer machines), confirming the deposit amount, and then getting a receipt. However, not all ATMs have deposit capabilities, and some banks restrict deposits to ATMs within their own network or impose limits on the number of bills or total amount you can deposit at one time. It is also advisable to check with your own bank about specific ATM deposit rules and locations that accept deposits. After depositing, funds may be available immediately or take a few days to clear, especially if envelopes are required for the deposit.
