Abstract: A method for saving information about objects to be verified that were consigned to a self-service terminal and that were deposited by the self-service terminal in cassettes, with the following steps: acceptance of objects; verification of the objects; if verification was not successful, determination of a clear identification of the non-verified object and saving the identification on a memory system that is physically connected to the cassette and is transported with said cassette.

Abstract: A method for authorizing check deposits includes digitally recording a check; using digital image recognition methods to determine digital check data which describe the issuer, the recipient and the sum of the check; and authorizing the further processing of the check if one or more of the following steps are successful: a) checking, in a database protected from external access, whether the issuer of the check has cleared the recipient by comparing the digital check data with data from the database; and b) loading digital communication addresses of the issuer from a database protected from external access, transmitting the digital check data to the communication address with the request to digitally clear the check, and receiving digital clearance of the check from the issuer.
