1. A method for intaking a bag containing currency or bank checks comprising:
receiving, at a first computing device having one or more processors, a first input from a second computing device, the second computing device remote from the first computing device and possessed by a user, the first input defining a pre-staged transaction and including details of a deposit of the bag;
generating, with the first computing device, a scannable token in response to said receiving, the scannable token correlated to the first input;
communicating, with the first computing device, the scannable token to the second computing device;
scanning, with a scanner at an after-hours depository (AHD), the scannable token from a display of the second computing device;
receiving, by a third computing device having one or more processors at the AHD, from the scanner, the scanned token;
locking a door of the AHD with a lock that is operably associated with the door and configurable in a first configuration wherein the door is locked in a closed position and the lock also configurable in a second configuration wherein the door is unrestrained from moving to an open position from the closed position;
controlling, with the third computing device, an actuator to switch the lock from the first configuration to the second configuration, said controlling in response to said scanning;
receiving, after said controlling, the bag through an inlet of a chute of the AHD that extends between the door and a safe of the AHD, the chute guiding movement of the bag from the door to the safe;
receiving, at the first computing device, a second input from a fourth computing device, the fourth computing device remote from the first computing device and possessed by a second user, the second input defining a second pre-staged transaction and including details of a deposit of a second bag containing currency or bank checks;
generating, with the first computing device, a second scannable token in response to said receiving the second input;
communicating, with the first computing device, the second scannable token to the fourth computing device; and
scanning, with the scanner at the AHD, the second scannable token from a display of a fifth computing device remote from the first computing device.
