The computer then provides the customer with directions to the bank. Before arrival of the customer at the bank, the computer provides the bank with each of notification of the impending arrival of the customer, transaction information usable by the bank to process the transaction request, and an image of the customer. Personnel at the bank can then recognize and greet the arriving customer.
