I was thinking the other day, I have about $600 in my wallet, which I've been meaning to get down to the bank to put in my account, but I can never find the time to do so because I'm either at work, or the bank closes early on Saturday and it isn't open on Sunday, plus then I have to stand in a line, talk to a cashier and remember all my bank account numbers like BSB, Acc no etc.
You should be able to put your debit card into the ATM and put cash into it and it adds it to your bank balance there and then, ATMs never close and are available 24/7 (besides when its being serviced). What are your opinions on this? |

Used to be able to deposit at ATM's in an envelope (maybe still can at some?), had metal box thing below the ATM with slot in it and I think the ATM itself even dispensed the envelope.

Another task relied upon by computers, what if it gets the amount wrong? there is no way to prove how much you put in so you're stuffed. I don't know about you but I'm all for the human element.
Seriously it is not that hard to find time to go to the bank, If your that flat out get your mum or dad to pop in and do it for you, or tell your boss you need to leave a bit early as you need to get to the bank before it closes. There is no need to have your acc numbers if you have your card as stated above. |

If it knows what notes are which when it spits it out, it would know what they are when they go back in. |

Also not having seen inside an ATM before and the set up I assume that each denomination is put in a separate slot, so the ATM doesn't exactly know which note is which but knows which slot to get a $20 from and which to get a $50 from, How is it suppose to judge which note is which when inserted by us?
Gees this editing thing is a stuff up lol Quote:
So you're suggesting a complete overhaul of the ATM machine as well? quite a lot of money to be spent there for very little gain IMO |

On the ATM's I used to repair, it had a bin or $20's and a bin of $50's. It'll pick notes and count off either or both denominations. If it counts incorrectly or finds an inconsistency, it'll dump the lot into a reject bin and start again. You could stick monopoly money in either bin and the ATM wouldn't know the difference. There are ATM's you can deposit money into an envelope (normally located in the side of a wall at a bank) but it requires manual intervention before the money will be credited to your account. |

Agree. You should be able to transfer, withdraw and deposit at ATM's. However, the most annoying thing with banks is the delay it takes in direct debit. If you are transferring to another "same bank" account, then usually it's instant - but in this day and age there should not be a 2-3 day wait to get money.

have you never seen note acceptors ? they are used in vending machines at car washes poker machines and probably other applications I havent thought of. they examine key features of the note and either accapt or reject it based on it matching the features programed into it

Security guard comes in with a bin full of $20's and a bin full of $50's that have been counted and checked by bank staff (or an associated machine) and inserts the bins into the ATM. The ATM keeps a track of what it dispenses. I wasn't involved in fixing all model ATM's so there may be some out there that are a little more advanced. More advanced = more that can go wrong. |

I use ATM's to deposit cash regularly. It shows up on my account balance immediately, but not in available funds until its been processed by staff at the end of the day. Sure beats lining up and filling out a deposit slip.

ATM's are pretty reliable devices but if one ever does stuff up are you going to not be annoyed
im happy to make the time to deposit money myself rather than having to find time to make a complaint about them screwing up to only have to wait weeks for a solution |

I had one stuff up on me once, two 20$ bills stuck together so I got an extra $20. Bonus! To be honest I just wish banks would open later, till 4.30 or 5. Then workers wouldn't have to arrange time off or get up early on Saturdays to do their banking.
