Colleen Curran recently attempted to deposit over $2,000 in cash at a Bank of America ATM, but the machine malfunctioned and her money disappeared. Bank of America has since recovered the cash and refunded Curran, but the incident highlights the potential risk involved in making large cash deposits at ATMs. To avoid similar issues, it’s advisable to make large deposits inside the bank during business hours.
