Merge Cover Letter with Resume?

For internships that don’t have a cover letter requirement and thus not a place to enter it, should I just make a merged pdf with my cover letter and resume in one pdf and submit the combined PDF in the resume section?

Would the cover letter go on top? For banks that don’t require a cover letter, can their automated resume scans and thus not give me a hirevue?

Do u think it can screw up automated resume scanners that are only used to dealing with resumes and thus not lead to a hirevue?
