Bank is one entity meaning singular.We are referring to one particular bank here hence bank is singular and hence should go with pronoun "its" and "it" in the places where we have "their" and "they".

Hence "A" and "B" can be eliminated.

Yes, and there are several other issues with B.

a) requires as a verb in this context is best followed with that and a subjunctive.

b) a deposited check in B seems to suggest as if all customers are depositing just one check.
