game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.DepositATM.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)        

local Wallet = player.CurrencyFolder.Wallet.Value
local Amount = tonumber(script.Parent.Parent.AMOUNT.Text)

if Wallet >= Amount then

player.CurrencyFolder.Wallet.Value = player.CurrencyFolder.Wallet.Value - Amount
player.BankFolder.Bank.Value = player.BankFolder.Bank.Value + Amount

end     
end)

The problem is that the text only changes for the client, not the server, so you have to send the text through with the LocalScript. For example:

LocalScript


-- Insert LocalScript code here

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.DepositATM:FireServer(script.Parent.Parent.AMOUNT.Text)

ServerScript

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.DepositATM.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)        

    local Wallet = player.CurrencyFolder.Wallet.Value
    local Amount = tonumber(text)

    if Wallet >= Amount then

        player.CurrencyFolder.Wallet.Value = player.CurrencyFolder.Wallet.Value - Amount
        player.BankFolder.Bank.Value = player.BankFolder.Bank.Value + Amount

    end     
end)

It says Attempt to compare nil and number because the text is equal to nothing on the server's side. For more information click here
