Deposit stations are objects that appear in the arena periodically during Bank It rounds, where they replace the usual cashout stations. Deposit stations are used by contestants to secure any coins they are carrying for their team.

Overview

If a contestant is holding any coins, they can use the deposit station to deposit the coins and add it to their team's total, preventing coins from being lost.

When a team finishes depositing enough coins to reach the victory threshold, they win the game.

Each deposit station is identified by a letter on its indicator. This letter loops from A to D with every 4 spawns. Contestants can aim their pings at the indicator, which will place the ping at the location of the deposit station.

Usage

Contestants that are holding coins can interact with a deposit station for a few seconds to deposit it.

Spawning

Deposit stations spawn at a random location in the arena and last for 90 seconds. When a deposit station disappears, a new one always spawns in the same moment. There are a few dozen fixed locations per arena where a deposit station can appear.

Mechanics

Deposit stations share all the physical attributes of cashout stations. They are indestructible and cannot be moved easily other than having them fall down.

Strategy

It is possible to wait near a deposit station for an opponent looking to deposit their cash, to then ambush them and steal their coins.
- This works best in solo variations of Bank It, as individual contestants can't be covered by their teammates.
When holding a lot of cash, it may be safest to wait for a new deposit station to spawn as it will be less contested.
Before depositing, contestants should position themselves relatively to the deposit station in such a way that it will provide them with the most cover from a potential enemy arrival while making a deposit.
- Additionally, a Dome Shield, a teammate's Mesh Shield and/or goo can provide further cover.

Trivia

The design of the deposit station's interface is based on the ATM, though the usual PIN pad is replaced by a single slot to insert coins into.
- Commentator June refers to the deposit stations as ABMs in a voice line that can play at the beginning of Bank It rounds, most likely meaning "Automated Banking Machine" (with "Banking" replacing "Teller" in ATM).
  “The stage is set for Bank It! Contestants will collect coins from vaults or by snagging them from downed opponents, and then make their way to an ABM!”

While depositing, the display shows an animation of Nama Tama giving a thumbs up.
