  • Patent number: 8613388
    Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from user cards to accept checks and dispense cash to authorized machine users. The machine can compare image data and magnetic data obtained from a check to determine the genuineness of the check. The machine can also determine whether a machine user is authorized to exchange a check for cash. A cash dispenser can be operated to dispense cash to a machine user in exchange for a deposited check. The machine dispenses the cash responsive to communications with a transaction host.

  • Patent number: 8517260
    Abstract: An automated banking machine operates to carry out financial transfers responsive to data read form data bearing records. The machine includes a card reader that operates to read data from user cards. The card data corresponds to financial accounts. The machine further includes a cash dispenser and a receipt printer. The machine can dispense cash to an authorized user based on read card data including an identifier of an authorized financial account. The machine can cause a dispensed amount of cash to be transferred from the financial account through communication with at least one remote computer. The machine can also dispense cash in exchange for a check received through a check acceptor. The check acceptor includes a check imager that can scan a check to generate a check image. The check acceptor can read magnetic check data on a check and check data from a check image.

  • Patent number: 8474697
    Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) operates responsive to data read from data bearing records to cause financial transfers. The machine includes a user interface (12) including an opening (20). Users of the machine deliver individual sheets and stacks of sheets to and from the machine through the opening. Stacks of sheets may include sheets such as notes, checks, or other documents. Stacks input to the machine may include mixtures of various types of sheets. The machine operates to receive notes, process checks, and perform other operations. Notes received in the machine may be recycled and dispensed to other users. Checks processed by the machine may be imaged by an imaging device, cancelled, and stored in the machine or alternatively returned to a user.
