Depositing cash into an ATM that's not affiliated with your bank can still be straightforward, but be mindful of potential fees and limitations. Generally, you'll use your debit card at the ATM, choose the deposit option, and follow the prompts to complete the transaction. Make sure to verify beforehand that the ATM accepts deposits for your bank. For non-network ATMs, extra fees may apply, and deposits could take longer to process. It's always a good idea to double-check your bank's policy regarding non-network ATM deposits.
