Abstract: A server computer system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled to the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed, configure the processor to obtain, via the communications module, automated teller machine session data; generate a first checksum based on at least the automated teller machine session data; and store the first checksum and the automated teller machine session data in a database.

Abstract: A computer system for automatically handling and releasing funds for deposit items has a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the system to receive an image of a cheque received and scanned by an automated teller machine (ATM) for deposit into a first account of an institution associated with the ATM. The scanned image of the cheque is analyzed to identify an institution and account on which that cheque is drawn. If that account has sufficient available funds to cover the cheque, then the first account is credited in the amount of the cheque without placing a hold on any of the credited amount and funds of the account on which the cheque is drawn are encumbered in that same amount. After crediting the first account, an indication is provided that the funds are available (e.g., to withdraw). Related methods and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer system for recycling value instruments in an automated teller machine has a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the system to receive an image of a value instrument obtained by an automated teller machine for deposit. The image of the value instrument is analyzed to determine its condition. Then, based on the condition of the value instrument, it may be determined that the value instrument is suitable for recycling to fulfill withdrawals. Upon determining that the value instrument is suitable for recycling to fulfill withdrawals, recycling of the value instrument by the automated teller machine is initiated and an indication reflecting the recycling is generated so as to influence when a next servicing of the automated teller machine will occur. Related methods and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: detecting, by an automated teller machine, a trigger event; in response to detecting the trigger event, determining a current configuration of at least one cassette loaded into the automated teller machine; automatically configuring one or more user interface settings of the automated teller machine based on the current configuration of the at least one cassette; and presenting a user interface based on the one or more user interface settings.

Abstract: An automated teller machine includes a processor, a wireless communications module, a cash dispenser, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the automated teller machine to detect, using the wireless communications module, that an authentication token capable of wireless communication has been brought into communications range of the module and communicate with the authentication token to cryptographically authenticate the token and to receive information identifying an account associated with the token. Then, without receiving user-input providing a second authentication factor the automated teller machine initiates processing of a withdrawal of a specified quantity of cash from the account. The processing of the withdrawal includes determining, based on an automated assessment of compliance with one or more policies, that the withdrawal is executable without further authentication.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing dynamic foreign exchange includes receiving an indication of a number associated with a card used to access an automated teller machine. A portion of the number identifying an issuer of the card may be extracted. Based on the issuer of the card, it may be determined that dynamic foreign exchange should be offered for a transaction. Then, a request may be sent to a foreign exchange rate service device for a dynamically-determined foreign exchange rate quote, the quote to be provided to the automated teller machine. An indication that the quoted rate was accepted at the automated teller machine may be received and then the transaction may be processed with foreign exchange provided at the quoted rate by an entity associated with the foreign exchange rate service device. Related systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
