Cultural Tip
In Italy many ATMs (bancomat) only allow cash withdrawals; only the machines of the bank that issued your card usually accept deposits. Some banks have dedicated "sportelli automatici" for deposits, and they may require you to insert your card before you can deposit cash. Always check the signage – "versamento contanti" indicates a deposit‑capable machine.
