Systems and methods of detecting fraudulent activity including skimmers adapted to compromise transacting devices such as automated teller machines (ATMs) are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary computer-implemented method may comprise determining that a subject device has a risk level higher than a risk threshold, providing a push notification to a mobile device proximal to the subject device, executing a software application executed by the mobile device for gathering information and transmitting feedback regarding the subject device, and providing an incentive, upon receipt of the feedback, to, for example, an account or device associated with an individual involved with the feedback or interaction with the device.

A sheet processing system, comprising a storage device that stores one or more sheets, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to count a number of sheets stored in the storage device; determine whether the storage device is full based on a storage state of the storage device; in a case that the storage device is determined to be full, decide a set value relating to an upper limit number of the sheets storable in the storage device by using a plurality of count results from the control circuitry; and set the set value for the storage device.

Provided is a valuable medium handling apparatus that handles a valuable medium and includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information on an operation result of the valuable medium handling apparatus; and an output unit that outputs, to an external apparatus, first identification information which includes the information on the operation result of the valuable medium handling apparatus acquired by the acquisition unit and which is used for identification of the valuable medium handling apparatus.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses using a processor coupled to a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions. The processor is configured to count a first amount of currency, wherein the first amount of currency is the actual amount of currency received by a teller money drawer, receive an indication of a second amount of currency, wherein the second amount of currency is an expected amount of currency, compare the first amount of currency to the second amount of currency, discover a discrepancy between the first amount of currency and the second amount of currency, and transmit discrepancy information to be displayed on a teller computing device.

Apparatus and methods relating to a counter recycling device are described. The counter recycling device may contain a receiving pocket, a counter mechanism, an escrow section, and an escrow door. The receiving pocket is configured to accept currency and is connected to the counter mechanism. The counter mechanism may be configured to count the currency inserted into the receiving pocket. The counter recycling device may also include an escrow section, which may be configured to collect and hold the currency in a secure area. Additionally, the counter recycling device may include an escrow door configured to enclose the escrow section on a face of the counter recycling device, the escrow door being transparent and allowing currency within the escrow section to be viewable when the escrow door is in a closed position.
