    There are things that you can do at an ATM that you can’t do at some banks, or will have shorter overall wait times.

    You can’t always walk into a small credit union and withdraw money/deposit cash from a bank account with a different institution, but you can do that at their ATMs.

      I find that regardless of bank, if you talk to a teller, you need to have an account with the bank you are physically in.

      There’s very little they can do for you without it.

      I’ve had banks I don’t have an account with occasionally replace a damaged dollar bill of some value or another, or do some limited currency conversion, eg, getting a roll of quarters or something, in exchange for the cash I have on hand… Beyond that, they basically tell you to leave.
