That day I realized my ATM deposits were always delayed for a dumb reason
Last week I deposited $300 into my account at a Chase ATM in Chicago around 7pm. Three days later it still wasn't showing up. I called support and the guy asked if I was using an envelope. I told him yeah, I always stuff cash in the envelope. He goes 'that's why, you need to use the envelope-free slot for instant credit.' I have been using envelopes for like 5 years and never knew this. Has anyone else been doing it wrong this whole time?

Right there with you, man. I've been sliding envelopes into those machines like I'm mailing a letter to the bank for a decade. Found out the hard way when I deposited a check and it took a whole week to clear, meanwhile I was over drafting on pizza. So now I'm just tossing cash into the naked tray like a caveman, hoping the machine doesn't eat it. Did they ever explain why the envelope method still exists if it's just gonna slow everything down?

It's like ice cream shops still using paper menus when everyone orders on their phones.
