A banknote pay-out device includes a pay-out port where a banknote bundle is handed over to a user, a shutter that is provided so as to capable of closing or opening the pay-out port, a gripping conveyance guide and a stage that guide the banknote bundle W, and a push-out plate that is disposed facing the gripping conveyance guide and the stage, and that moves in a handover direction toward the pay-out port while contacting one edge side of the banknote bundle to convey the banknote bundle toward the pay-out port. The banknote pay-out device also includes a shutter opening-and-closing projection that, as the push-out plate moves toward the pay-out port, moves together with the push-out plate and moves the shutter toward an opening direction to open the pay-out port.

A medium conveyance device is provided including a placement body, a Scott-Russell body, a moving section, and a conveyance state switching section. The placement body includes a bundle conveyance face on which a medium bundle configured by stacking plural medium into a bundle shape is conveyed in a state placed on the bundle conveyance face. The Scott-Russell body includes an abutting portion that abuts the medium bundle. The movement section causes at least a portion of the Scott-Russell body to abut against the medium bundle and moves the Scott-Russell body along the bundle conveyance face in a first direction, or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, so as to move the medium bundle along the bundle conveyance face in the first direction or in the second direction. The conveyance state switching section utilizes the Scott-Russell body being moved by the movement section to switch to a first conveyance state in which at least a portion of the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against the second direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the first direction is enabled, or to a second conveyance state in which at least a portion of the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against the first direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the second direction is enabled.

An authentication computing device including at least one processor in communication with a memory is provided. The processor stores, within the memory, an authentication profile associated with an account holder. The authentication profile includes an account identifier associated with a payment account of the account holder and authentication information. The processor further receives an authentication request associated with the payment account and a payment card action request from a requestor for a payment card action to be performed through an automated teller machine (ATM). The processor also retrieves the stored authentication profile, generates an authentication challenge based on the authentication profile, transmits the authentication challenge to a client device and/or the ATM, receives an authentication response from the requestor, and determines an authentication result based, at least in part, on the authentication response. The authentication result indicates if the requestor is the authenticated account holder of the payment account.

An Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) is associated with a beacon. The beacon may communicate with an electronic device running a software application that is configured to detect the beacon. The software application may have a reaction based upon the detection of the beacon. The ATM or related systems may respond to data directly or indirectly from the software application to make a customization or take other action based there on.

A slim-profile safe has a safe body that defines an interior space, and a safe door that is moveable between a closed position for securing the interior space and an open position for accessing the interior space. The safe door includes a fore portion and a recess portion that is offset from the fore portion by a recess angle. The fore portion defines a maximum depth of the safe, and the recess portion provides a reduced depth portion of the safe for the presentation of external hardware for operating a lock that releasably locks the safe door in the closed position, the recess portion being sufficiently offset from the fore portion such that the external hardware is positioned entirely sub-flush to a plane that extends parallel to the fore portion.

An automated method is provided for enabling and implementing a beacon-based service location application in a user device having a beacon monitoring application. A service location facilitation server establishes service need criteria for a user of the user device and estimates a service need state for the user. The service need state includes information indicative of a relative need for a desired service. The service location facilitation server then determines whether the service need state meets the service need criteria, and, if so, transmits an instruction to the user device to transition the beacon monitoring application from an inactive state to an active monitoring state.

After loss of communications between a cash handling device and a financial institution, transactions may continue to be processed. In one configuration, the transactions may be processed up to a predefined transaction limit. Transaction limits may be defined by a number of transactions, a dollar amount transacted or to be transacted, an amount of time and/or combinations thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the transaction limit may be specific to one or more types of transactions. Transaction data may be stored in memory until communication has been re-established, at which time the data may be transmitted to the financial institution for processing.

A banknote handling apparatus (banknote depositing/dispensing apparatus 1) includes a transport unit (41), a storage unit (3), an upper housing (111) configured to house the transport unit, and a lower housing (protective housing 131) configured to house the storage unit. The upper housing has an opening (1111) which is formed through a surface thereof on one side in a horizontal direction, and the transport unit is configured to be drawn out of the upper housing toward the one side in the horizontal direction through the opening. The lower housing has an opening (1311) which is formed through a surface thereof on the other side in the horizontal direction, and is configured to be drawn out of the lower housing toward the other side in the horizontal direction through the opening.

Systems and methods for displaying a dynamic risk level indicator of an ATM site or other remote monitoring site on a map are provided. Some methods can include receiving one or more pieces of data associated with an ATM site, assigning a risk level to the ATM site based on at least one of the one or more pieces of data, and displaying an identifier of the ATM site on a map displayed on a user interface device such that the identifier can visually identify a location of the remote device and the risk level assigned to the remote device.

The innovation discloses systems and methods of mirroring a User Interface (UI) of an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) on a Display screen in a Vehicle (DIV) or mobile Device in Vehicle (DIV) of an occupant of a vehicle which stops in close proximity to the ATM for a financial transaction. The innovation can employ an App (or application) installed in the DIV, smart software installed in the ATM, and Service Support Servers (SSS) in a cloud or bank network. A Device Management Server (DMS) manages the SSS and acts as a gateway between the ATM and SSS. A multi-level (e.g., three level) authentication/authorization can be employed whereby 1) the DIV and ATM are verified and connected to a secure network, 2) the user is verified, and 3) the dispersal of funds into the cabin of the vehicle is authorized.
