At the ATM, customers can make deposits to or withdrawals from their account(s). They can also transfer funds between their accounts, and can make inquiries as to account balances.In order to access the services of the ATM, customers must have an ATM card and a Personal Identification Number (PIN).The components of the ATM include a User Interface, a card reader, an envelope slot, a cash drawer and a printer. The User Interface has a display and buttons. There are 10 numeric entry buttons, 4 transaction selection buttons, an "Enter" button and a "Cancel" button. Each ATM is connected to the bank computer via a network . Each ATM has a unique network identification number. The ATM validates account balances and account status by communicating with the bank computer . ATM's require periodic servicing. This servicing can include maintenance , restocking cash in the money holder, and removing deposited envelopes from the envelope repository. From the envelope When the rear service panel is open, the ATM suspends interactions with the customers. Each ATM has a particular branch of the bank that is responsible for service and maintenance.
