CASH DISPENSING AUTOMATED BANKING MACHINE WITH IMPROVED CARDRETENTION CAPABILITIES AND METHOD

摘要

An automated banking machine ( 10 ) includes a card reader ( 256 ) in the machine operative to receive cards from users. Cards that are to be captured and held in the machine are moved by the card reader to the interior of a bin ( 268 ). Cards entering the bin are engaged with and moved away from the card reader by action of a movable member ( 274 ). Authorized servicers recover captured cards from the bin by opening a lock ( 272 ) and accessing the interior of the bin by opening a lid ( 270 ). The user interface of the machine includes a movable fascia portion ( 240 ) that assures proper alignment of the fascia opening and card reader and also minimizes the risk of undetected installation of unauthorized card reading devices.
