Abstract
Abstract A self-service terminal ( 12 ) having a wireless communication port ( 28 ) for interacting with a user's portable device ( 60 or 70 ) is described. The terminal ( 12 ) may be an ATM, and includes a biometric device ( 35 ) for capturing biometric data from a user at the terminal ( 12 ). The terminal ( 12 ) is operable to receive biometric data from portable devices ( 60 or 70 ) within the vicinity ( 76 ) of the terminal ( 12 ), and compares the received biometric data with data captured by the biometric device ( 35 ) to determine which portable device ( 60 or 70 ) is associated with the user at the terminal ( 12 ). A method of executing a transaction at a self-service terminal ( 12 ) having a wireless communications port ( 28 ) is also described.
