Do you not have a bank with actual tellers inside?

Of course, I do have a bank. Do you mean that I can give the checks to tellers and they will do it for me? (All 340 checks? It will take the teller 2-3 straight days.)

Tellers will simply check the math on the deposit slip, make sure the checks are endorsed, they use a scanner to actually process the checks.

Check with your bank. Many have policies designed to increase revenue and do things like charge you if you use teller more than n times per month.

Why are you only depositing once per month (that is what it sounds like you are doing)?

Are you in the USA?

I'm in France and these checks are US checks. I go to USA once per month to collect them (they are sent to a PO box) and deposit them. That's why I only do it once per month.

I'm actually unfamiliar with the deposit slip. My bank's ATM simply takes checks one by one and I use my credit card to log into my account to have them deposited into my account. Can you explain what deposit slips are?

I shall check with my bank, thanks for suggestion. When I opened my account they simply told me to do it at an ATM.

Some PO box places forward, you might want to look into that...

Deposit slips are itemized lists for what you want to deposit, like XXX in cash plus YYYYY in checks. You list each check out with the check number and the amount. Then you simply write the total and hand the entire bundle to the teller. They'll reconcile it later.
