Can I use a different bank's ATM to deposit a check?

Question

My job will only let me deposit my paycheck after 4pm. I need the money the day of for shopping trip with a friend, but there is only a bank of America ATM there, not the bank I have. Would I still be able to deposit a check, or no?

Answer 1

No you will not be able to. Your non-bank ATM will only give you the option to withdraw money, not deposit.

If this is a weekly/bi-weekly problem for you, maybe you should consider direct deposit. Most employers offer it at no cost to their employees.
