Whether you can deposit $5,000 cash into an ATM depends on the specific hardware limitations of the machine and your bank's institutional policies. Most modern "intelligent" deposit-taking ATMs have a limit on the number of notes (bills) they can accept in a single transaction, which is often around 50 to 100 notes. If you are depositing $5,000 using $100 bills, you might successfully fit that in one or two transactions, but if you are using $1 or $5 bills, the ATM will likely refuse the volume. Additionally, many banks impose their own internal daily or transaction-specific limits on ATM deposits for security reasons. If the ATM rejects the amount, you will need to go inside the branch and process the deposit with a teller. It is always safer to perform large cash deposits with a bank representative to ensure you receive an immediate, verified receipt for the full amount.
