How it's used
Refers specifically to the automated machines found in bank lobbies or outside branches that accept cash deposits. While many modern machines are now multifunctional and handle both withdrawals and deposits, this term remains the standard way to identify the deposit function. It is common to pair this with the verb 入, meaning to insert or deposit.

Common mistake
Avoid using the Mandarin term 存款機 in casual conversation if you are looking for a machine that also dispenses cash, as locals will usually just refer to any bank machine as 櫃員機 regardless of its specific functions.
