Key Takeaways

• A Cash Deposit Machine or CDM is a self-service machine to deposit cash in your bank account.

While we move towards a cashless economy, we cannot eliminate cash deposits completely. After all, whether it is transferred through online or offline methods, cash is cash, and it is necessary for survival. You can deposit cash by either visiting your nearest bank branch or an ATM that allows cash deposits. This article explains Cash Deposit Machines and how you can use them to deposit cash into your bank account.

What Is Cash Deposit Machine?

A Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) is a self-service machine that enables you to deposit money in your bank account. You can find stand-alone CDMs in an ATM vestibule or use an ATM-cum-cash deposit machine. A slot in the machine automatically counts the money, and your account gets credited instantly.

How Does a Cash Deposit Machine Work?

While using the CDM, you need to input your account number or insert your debit card, and the machine reads and confirms your banking data. The CDM comprises a slot for you to place your currency notes, which it automatically counts. You can check the summary of your total denominations on the CDM screen. If the amount is correct, confirm the same, and the amount will be credited to your bank account.
