25 February 2010, Pages - 19

An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is a computerized device that enables banks and its customers to carry out limited financial transactions at public locations; negating the requirement of a manual support. The ATM is generally connected to the operating bank via wired (dial-up modem or leased lines) or wireless network over the internet. The customers are identified through plastic cards (which have magnetic strip or chip that stores account information) and a PIN (personal identification number) that is used as a security feature. Once the identification is done, the ATM connects to banks for verification and financial transactions. On completion of the transaction, the ATM dispatches a transaction receipt that indicates the details of the completed transaction.

ATM facilitates customers to access their bank and credit card accounts to make cash withdrawals, cash advances (for credit cards), generate account statements, transfer money, and to make card less transfer of money. Further ATMs can be used to deposit cash, pay routine bills, print statements, process cheques, recharge mobile phones, etc.
