Finding an atm that still accepts deposits for any bank

Is there anywhere online to find (by zipcode) ATMs that accept deposits for any/every bank?
If, OTOH, you are looking for all the ATM locations for a specific bank, either go to the bank's website or give them a call. M&I for example lists their ATMs here.

Do you mean you want one site that can locate different bank's ATMs and tell you whether they accept deposits? Or are you referring to an ATM that takes deposits for multiple banks?

You will have to ask your bank. In general, it is a lot more complicated to accept a deposit for a foreign customer than to give them cash.

I've traveled a lot and never, ever found an ATM which would accept deposits for non-affiliated banks, so are you asking about finding all ATMs that accept deposits?

If you are talking about finding ATMs that accept deposits, I'll throw in an anecdote. Once when needing to make a deposit, I called the customer help line for my bank (Citibank). They told me that all their ATMs make deposits.
This is somewhat true. Most of them give you an error that they cannot make deposits at this time. I went to six ATMs over the course of a Sunday, each time calling customer service and yelling at them that they sent me to yet another bad ATM. They would thank me, and say there wasn't an outstanding ticket on that ATM and they'll open one. Then send me across town to another bad ATM.
So while you can use the bank website, it won't give you accurate information of whether or not they can make deposits at that time. The bank doesn't even seem to keep centralized records on which ones work at any time.
So if anyone knows of a 3rd party site that does list that information, it would be exceedingly useful. But I'm skeptical it exists.

Does your bank have a "deposit from home" option? I am able to deposit checks by scanning and uploading through my bank's website. I can also do it with my iPhone's camera and the bank's app, although I haven't actually tried this yet.

Many credit unions have "Shared Branching" that allows you to make a deposit at another bank in the network.
