If an ATM rejects your deposit, it means the machine could not accept the bills or check you attempted to deposit. This is a common issue and usually happens because the ATM cannot properly scan or verify the deposit.
Common Reasons ATM Deposits Are Rejected
- Damaged or torn bills
- Folded or wrinkled cash
- Check scanning issues
- ATM deposit slot malfunction
What to Do If an ATM Rejects Your Deposit
- Straighten or flatten the bills.
- Try depositing fewer bills at once.
- Use a different ATM machine.
- Deposit the money with a bank teller if available.
Bottom Line
ATM deposit rejections are usually caused by scanning or machine issues. Trying another ATM or depositing the funds inside a bank branch will typically solve the problem.
