A banking system controlled by data bearing records. The system includes an automated banking machine () including a card reader () operative to read identifying data from user cards. The identifying data is used authorize operation of the automated banking machine. The banking machine includes a user interface (). The user interface includes a card reader, receipt printer opening (), cash dispensing opening (), and deposit accepting opening (). Multicolor light emitting devices () are adjacent to and associated with a respective location where a user interacts with a particular transaction function device of the machine. One or more machine controllers () are selective to control the output color and duration of each light emitting device responsive to programming associated with the controller and an operative condition of the associated transaction function device.

Cash accepting automated banking machine having user interface illumination devices

An automated banking machine () includes a user interface (). The user interface includes a card reader (), receipt printer opening (), cash dispensing opening (), and deposit accepting opening (). Multicolor light emitting devices () are adjacent to and associated with a respective location where a user interacts with a particular transaction function device of the machine. One or more machine controllers () are selective to control the output color and duration of each light emitting device responsive to programming associated with the controller and an operative condition of the associated transaction function device.

Cash dispensing automated banking machine with user interface illumination devices

An automated banking machine () includes a user interface () and a cash dispensing mechanism (). A fascia () of the machine includes a pair of horizontally disposed convex mirrors (). The mirrors are used to enable a machine user to view the rear area () behind the machine user. The machine can move the mirrors into operative viewing position in response to machine user input. The machine also includes lights that can be selectively directed and illuminated to reduce the risk of observation of inputs to the machine by unauthorized persons. A rear area light source focuses light away from the machine user's line of sight to the user interface but toward the rear area () to obscure nonuser view of machine user input to the user interface.

Cash dispensing automated banking machine with improved user observation capabilities

An automated banking machine () includes a card reader () 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 (). Cards entering the bin are engaged with and moved away from the card reader by action of a movable member (). Authorized servicers recover captured cards from the bin by opening a lock () and accessing the interior of the bin by opening a lid (). The user interface of the machine includes a movable fascia portion () that assures proper alignment of the fascia opening and card reader and also minimizes the risk of undetected installation of unauthorized card reading devices.

Cash dispensing automated banking machine with improved card retention capabilities and method

An automated banking machine () includes a user interface (). The user interface includes a card reader (), receipt printer opening (), cash dispensing opening () and deposit accepting opening (). Multicolor light emitting devices () are adjacent to and associated with a respective location where a user interacts with a particular transaction function device of the machine. One or more machine controllers () are selectively programmed to control the output color and duration of each light emitting device responsive to programming associated with the controller and an operative condition of the associated transaction function device.

An automated banking machine () includes a controller () in the machine operative to selectively illuminate light emitting devices () for purposes of facilitating user operation of the machine. Sensing devices () adjacent a card reader slot () on the machine enables the controller to detect the presence of unauthorized card reading devices. Structural features adjacent to a card reader slot () further reduce the risk of the undetected installation of unauthorized card reading devices.

Cash dispensing automated banking machine with improved resistance to fraud

An automated banking machine () includes a user interface () and a cash dispensing mechanism (). A fascia of the machine () includes a pair of horizontally disposed convex mirrors () which enables viewing an area () behind the user of the machine. Sensors are operative to determine when a mirror requires cleaning and to cause the mirror to be cleaned either by actuating a cleaning device and/or by contacting a remote servicer. Lights may be selectively directed and illuminated to reduce the risk of observation of inputs to the machine by unauthorized persons.
