Gone are the days when you needed to count your money over and over again to ensure that you have enough for all the necessary shopping. These days, you need not even carry money on you when leaving for work or while going out for an evening with friends. Bank cards and ATMs have taken care of all the cumbersome issues we came across with physical money. Automated Teller Machines ensure All Time Money for us, given we have some money at least at the banks.



ATMs are nothing but interactive, automated kiosks. They are programmed mainly to supply cash as and when users need. They also accept cash and cheque payments. In short, it functions as a person at the counter does at a financial institution. It brings financial services closer at hand when you are at the shopping mall, grocery shop, convenience stores, or entering a restaurant.

At ATMs, the customers identify themselves by inserting an ATM card with a magnetic stripe or chip. This special chip or stripe contains unique card numbers and security information that the ATMs read to identify a customer. This identification information is validated when the user keys in the personal identification number or PIN. This process ensures a dual security system.

Naturally, kiosks serving as automated teller machines have to have special attention towards security, money handling, and printing receipts. ATMS can use more sophisticated and complex kiosk components depending on the additional services they deliver. In fact, apart from being cash dispensers, which they were initially designed to be, ATMs have evolved to perform various other functions, such as:

?Accepting deposits in cash and cheques

?Paying taxes and bills such as for phone bills, electricity fares etc

?Printing detailed and mini bank statements

?Updating passbooks

?Recharging cell phones

?Buying various other tangible and intangible items such as tickets for train, lottery, or concerts, postal stamps

?Making donations

?Purchasing gift certificates for shopping malls and departmental stores.
