ATMs are so much easier to deal with now for deposits. You can deposit $3,000-$5,000 (up to 50 items per deposit) and it scans the bills going in, instantly depositing the funds into your account, no teller asking questions.
You can call in to bump your daily limit of cash withdrawal out as well. $1500/day for BMO and $3,000 for CIBC. Don't know the other banks but have to believe they are in the same range.
