Depositing money at a Standard Bank ATM is a quick and easy process that can save you time and effort compared to visiting a branch. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you deposit money into your account:
Step 1: Check the ATM network
Before you start the deposit process, make sure that you are using a Standard Bank ATM. If you are uncertain, you can look for the Standard Bank logo or the bank’s name and colors on the machine. This will ensure that you are using an ATM that belongs to the same network as your account.
Step 2: Insert your debit card
Once you have identified the correct ATM, insert your Standard Bank debit card into the ATM card slot. Be sure to place the chip side of the card facing upwards.
Step 3: Enter your PIN
The ATM will prompt you to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Type in your PIN using the keypad, then press “Enter” or “OK” to confirm. Make sure that no one else can see your PIN while you are typing it in.
Step 4: Select the deposit option
After you have entered your PIN, the ATM screen will display a variety of options. Choose the “Deposit” option from the list. You might need to scroll down the list to find it.
Step 5: Choose the account type
The ATM will ask you which account you would like to deposit money into. Select the account that you want to deposit the money into. Double-check to ensure that the account number displayed on the screen matches with the account number associated with your debit card.
Step 6: Insert cash or cheques
Next, you will need to insert the cash or cheques that you would like to deposit into the ATM. Check the ATM’s instructions on how to load paper cash or cheques. Place the cash or cheques directly into the designated slot or tray. Avoid folding or damaging the notes as this might affect their readability by the ATM.
Make sure that you count the money correctly before depositing it. If you have several stacks of cash, group them neatly before placing them into the ATM.
If you are depositing cheques, ensure that the name on the cheque matches the name on the account and that the cheque is not post-dated.
Step 7: Confirm the deposit
After you have inserted the cash or cheques, the ATM will display the total amount of the deposit. Verify that the amount displayed on the screen is correct. If not, you can cancel the transaction and start again. Once you are satisfied that the amount is accurate, select the “Deposit” button to confirm the transaction.
Step 8: Collect receipt and card
The ATM will process your transaction and print a receipt at the end. Collect your card and the receipt, which will show the date, the amount deposited, and your current account balance. Keep the receipt for your records as proof of the deposit.
That’s it! Depositing money at a Standard Bank ATM is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few minutes. Remember to take care when handling cash and cheques, and always double-check the transaction details before confirming. If you encounter any issues during the deposit, such as the ATM not accepting your cash or cheques, contact the bank’s customer-service center for assistance.
