Abstract: A self service terminal (SST) 10 is described, having a deposit means 18 for allowing a user to deposit a number of media items into the SST. A single media transport path 20 transports deposited items via an escrow storage 22 to either a check bin 24 or a banknote bin 26. Items may be determined as banknotes or checks either automatically by the SST, by means of a media scanner and verifier 30, or manually, by allowing the user to identify the deposited items. The SST also comprises a safe 34, within which the banknote bin 26 is located. Embodiments of the invention may provide the check bin 24 either within or outside the safe 34. Various methods of processing media deposited into the SST are also described.
