night drop
Closed-hours bank slot
A night drop is a slot or receptacle where items can be deposited after business hours—typically at banks for deposits or at video rental stores (historically) for returns: I left the check in the night drop on my way home.
The term also applies to the deposit itself or the act of making one.
