A self-service terminal, such as an ATM (Automated Teller Machine). The ATM has a communication port for interfacing with a user's portable electronic device. The ATM is operable to receive a transaction authorization from the user's portable electronic device, to examine the transaction authorization, and to dispense an item to fulfil a requested transaction associated with the transaction authorization, without the terminal preparing an authorization request to a remote computer.

Self-service terminal

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