How to Make Deposits at Foreign ATMs
If you can't make it to the bank during normal banking hours, you can deposit money using an ATM machine and your ATM card. You can, in some cases, make an ATM deposit at a machine not associated with your bank, known as a foreign ATM. To make the deposit, your bank must allow foreign ATM machine deposits and your ATM card must be in the same network as the machine.
