Making Secure Cash Deposits into any Ecobank Account using the ATM

ATMs are a safe and modern way to make banking easier. With over 2,460 Ecobank ATMs across 36 countries and counting, ATMs have become a big part of the Ecobank banking revolution. It is now possible to deposit cash into any Ecobank account using an Ecobank deposit-enabled ATM.

The Pan-African bank has deployed the first cash deposit ATM at its Bonanjo-Douala branch, an innovation that aims at making banking easy for its customers.

The Bonanjo ATM is just the first-born of a series of cash deposit ATMs that Ecobank will deploy around the country, with nation-wide deployment expected to continue throughout 2021.

The digitalization of its banking services is also an opportunity for Ecobank to improve its customer experience by making it possible for customers to deposit money into their accounts without queuing at Ecobank branches.

It’s a particularly handy innovation if the money intended for deposit is available in cash as you won’t be able to deposit using the Ecobank mobile app. What’s more, if you’re using cheques, it may take longer for the bank to make your funds available using mobile deposits as compared to ATM deposits.

Truly, the Pan-African bank has indeed been on its toes in making banking easier for its customers. The recent launch of the Ecobank ATM Deposit functionality is, therefore, a testament to its unwavering determination to operate a fully digital banking system.

How to make cash deposits with an Ecobank ATM

From the Ecobank Bonanjo-Douala ATM to the ATM in Commercial Avenue-Bamenda, this will allow any Ecobank customer to deposit money into their accounts or that of their loved ones in a few simple steps:

• Select Ecobank Xpress Cash
• Choose Deposit
• Input your name, then select Continue
• Input your phone number (E.g.671 23 45 67), then select Continue
• Input beneficiary account number, select Continue and check the name of the beneficiary on the ATM screen
• Select Cash deposit, then insert the banknotes and wait for the amount to be validated
• Check the total amount, select Deposit and retrieve your receipt

As with ATM withdrawals at Ecobank, ATM Deposits are available in the two official languages in Cameroon--English and French.
