Honestly, if I'm at a machine, It might as well be an ATM that allows
deposits, which I've seen for years. Worst case, the depsited checks take a
day or two to post to your account, which can happen in any case. I was
tempted to ask for rolls of change to see how that was handled, as the only
slots I saw were where the cash/checks were fed in and the slot bills came
out, and the receipt printer. I didn't notice any thing to deal with coibs.

Some banks do have mobile apps that handle depositing checks electrinuxally,
but I'm not sure how it works exactly. But there are many places around here
that don't accept checks.
When I first opened the account with my current bank, my checking account was
actually called "No check checking."
WHhile on this subject, does your shop accept electronic payments?
I ask, because last summer while I was trying to get my nursery/yard art
business going, I primarily used Online market places like LetGo or OfferUp.
Mostly LetGo, because I liked the interface better. It was aquired by Offerup
though so that's that.
In any case, a few people when asking about plants and such, asked me uf I
accepted Venmo or CashApp or Paypal. Through those you can process payments
and Transfer funds to the bank electronically. Just an idea.
