A mechanism for actuating a boltwork sensing switch in an Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) includes linear actuators that are rigidly affixed to a bracket. The actuators are operable to linearly move the bracket in synchronized linear movement with the actuators. In operation, as the actuators move the bracket, a distal end of the bracket will come into contact with a switch, causing the switch to change its binary status from either open to closed or closed to open. The signal from the switch, which indicates whether the main bolt is open or closed, is detected by a main processor of an Automated Transaction Machine.

The cash recycler can be configured to receive a first note of currency from a first user of the ATM and dispense the first note of currency to a subsequent, second user of the ATM. The check receiver can be positioned in the housing, an intake portion with an inlet communicating with the exterior of the housing, and a check reader portion configured to receive a check from the intake portion, scan data displayed on the check, and store the check. The intake portion can be positioned below the display and the check reader portion is positioned behind the display.
Described herein are techniques that employ a data engine for providing service to endpoints such as automated banking machines. For example, when a maintenance task is to be performed, the appropriate skill and parts for completing the task are determined. A maintenance technician is selected to perform the maintenance task who is the closet technician to the endpoint that has the appropriate skill and part. The data engine is also operable to gather and correlate data for the various components of the endpoint and determine predictive and proactive actions for maintaining the components.

A system provides for a self-checkout terminal with various components. A receiver receives shopping data including prices of items that a customer has physically acquired or placed in a cart. A payment logic receives credential information associated with a monetary account for paying for the items. A message logic creates checkout data that includes data representing the collection of purchase items. A transmitter transmits the credential information to an account network for authentication and the receiver receives a response indicating if the monetary account is valid. The payment logic/self-checkout terminal indicates to the customer that a payment using the monetary account for the purchase items is authorized or not. When authorized, an authorization is received at the self-checkout terminal before the customer arrives at the terminal and the self-checkout terminal causes a payment transaction to be executed to provide for self-checkout using the monetary account without assistance by another person.

The computing device can transmit data remotely through the transceiver and can receive data through the transceiver. The self-service terminal also includes a card module having an intake configured to receive a card. The card module defines a path of movement for the card. The card module includes first and second optical scanners positioned on opposite sides of the path to respectively capture images from opposite sides of the card. The card module also includes at least one card reader configured to read one of a chip embedded in the card and a magnetic strip of the card.
