Abstract: An ATM includes plural user interfaces. Each user interface is vertically arranged at a different height. The user interfaces include identical input devices, but share a common currency dispenser. The ATM can receive a cash withdrawal request from an ATM user at any of the user interfaces. The ATM can carry out a cash withdrawal transaction that was requested at a particular user interface, including the dispense of cash, independent from any other user interface. The ATM can also accept deposits. Each user interface includes a slot sized to receive an envelope deposit therethrough. The ATM is located adjacent a vehicle drive-up lane. The different user interface heights respectively correspond to different vehicle heights, which enables an ATM user to select the closest user interface based on vehicle height.

Abstract: An automated transaction system includes an automated transaction machine (10) for carrying out banking transactions. The machine includes a plurality of customer stations (16, 18, 20) at which customers may conduct transactions. Each of the transactions requested by customers is carried out using a set of transaction function devices (34) positioned within or adjacent to the machine housing. The robotic item handling device (42) is included among the transaction function devices and enables moving items between the customer stations and the transaction function devices included in the machine. The machine is enabled to carry out transactions for multiple users simultaneously. The machine is also readily configured to add and delete transaction function devices, thereby more readily changing the types of transactions which may be conducted.
