Automatic Teller Machine
Automatic teller machine (ATM) is an electronic banking
outlet, which allows customers who has bank account to complete basic
transactions without the aid of a branch representative or teller. Anyone with
a credit card or debit card can access most
ATMs
ATM works by
using a plastic card (ATM card) which contains a magnetic stripe. It encodes
the customer's account number. By entering a pass code called a PIN (personal
Identification Number), a customer can make with drawls. If the customers enter
it incorrectly several times in row most ATM's will retain the card as security
precaution.
There are two primary types of ATM. Basic units allow
customers to withdraw cash and receive reports of their account balances only.
The more complex machines accept deposits, facilitate line of credit payments
and report account information. To access the advanced features of the complex
units, a user must be an account holder at the bank that operates the machine.
For travelers, ATM make it simple to access their checking or
savings accounts from almost anywhere in the world. When travelers use foreign
ATM, they receive a better exchange rate than they would at most currency exchange offices.
Additionally, using an ATM is easier than cashing traveler's checks, and
arguably, it makes travel safer, as the traveler doesn't have to carry a lot of
cash. However, the account holder's bank may charge a transaction fee or a
percentage of the amount exchanged. Most ATMs do not list the exchange rate on the receipt, making it challenging to track spending.
ATM becomes
the most important machine in people’s daily activity, because ATM can make
people who has bank accounts withdraw, deposit, transfer, credit payments, and
many electronic transaction without a teller. People can use ATM anywhere and
anytime, so ATM can make people easier doing many electronic transactions.
