Abstract
Abstract A self-service kiosk for cashing checks. A kiosk, such as an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) receives a bank check from a customer. After identifying the customer and verifying the check, the kiosk delivers currency to the customer, and retains the check. However, the kiosk does not cause a deduction in an account maintained by the customer, because the check was probably drawn on the account of another.
