Can you deposit money at an ATM?

People can deposit money at many ATMs, although not all, according to About.com. If an ATM displays a deposit option after accepting a bank card, it accepts money deposits. However, all of the money may not be immediately accessible.

The ATM money deposit process involves the insertion of a debit card and inputting the PIN, according to About.com. The person then picks the account receiving the funds and keys in the deposit amount if required. Some ATMs simply scan the amount from checks and by counting cash. The money is inserted into the ATM, and the machine delivers confirmation and a receipt.
