you can not make a deposit to an ATM. you can make one at the deposit drop box. that is what the deposit drop box is for when the banks are closed. most companies make it protocol to have 2 people when dropping money at the bank. but yeah, i see what you are trying to say. but, you know i have heard of more bank robberies during the banking hours than i have of a robberies concerning someone who was dropping money at the deposit drop box.
