Which option describes depositing cash at an ATM?

• A. A way to add money to your checking account using a mobile device.
• B. A method to withdraw cash from your checking account.
• C. A way to add cash directly into your checking account using an ATM.
• D. An electronic transfer of funds from another bank.

Answer: (C)

ATM cash deposits let you add physical money directly into your checking account by feeding bills into the machine. This is different from withdrawing cash, transferring funds, or using a mobile deposit. When you deposit, the ATM verifies the cash and credits your account with the deposited amount, though the exact funds availability can depend on your bank's policy and the machine. You typically insert your card, enter your PIN, choose deposit, insert the cash (and possibly an envelope), confirm the amount, and keep the receipt. The option described—adding cash directly into your checking account using an ATM—matches this action precisely.
