Availability and Limits
Most banks limit how much cash you can deposit at an ATM, but it's often a limit on the number of bills you can insert at a time, not a dollar-amount limit. At U.S. Bank, you can deposit up to 50 bills at a time.
Cash deposits made at a U.S. Bank ATM are credited to your account the same business day, but checks deposited after 8 p.m. local time will typically be processed and posted to the account the next business day. There's no universal cap on the amount of cash you can deposit into your ATM at once, but each bank sets its own rules.

Capacity Limits
Most banks don't cap the total deposit amount, but may limit the number of bills you can insert.
The cash deposit limit can range anywhere from $40 to $4,000, depending on the bills you insert into the machine.
Some banks set a limit on the number of bills you can deposit, not the dollar amount. For example, U.S. Bank limits you to 50 bills at a time.
This limit applies regardless of the dollar amount of each bill, so you could deposit a large number of low-value bills or a smaller number of high-value bills.
You're more likely to face a limit on how many bills you can insert at a time than a dollar-amount limit.
Availability Time
Cash deposits made at a U.S. Bank ATM are credited to your account the same business day.
Checks deposited before 8 p.m. local time are posted the same day, but checks deposited after 8 p.m. local time will typically be processed and posted to the account the next business day.
Federal regulation requires funds you deposit on a banking day to be available by the next business day at 9 a.m. or whenever your bank opens.
