2. The funding system according to claim 1 wherein:

the access code is in a format that is human readable and human replicable on a manual input device.

3. The funding system according to claim 1 wherein:

the ATM is in communication with the lending processor such that if the borrower enters the access code, the ATM confirms the amount of the loan with the lending processor.

if a lender approves the borrower for the requested loan, creating a record associating a loan amount with an access code;

transmitting the access code to the borrower in a format that is readable by the borrower;

using an automatic teller machine (ATM) to receive the access code and to verify the identity of the borrower without the use of a card; and

dispensing the loan amount using the ATM.

10. The method according to claim 9 wherein:

dispensing an amount of money less than the loan amount if the lending processor confirms the access code is associated with an un-dispensed loan amount.

13. The method according to claim 9 wherein:

the step of receiving the data from the borrower occurs over a remote communication link.

14. The method according to claim 13 wherein:

a telephone, a facsimile, and a computer network.

15. The method according to claim 9 wherein:

the step of transmitting the access code to the borrower occurs over a remote communication link.

16. The method according to claim 15 wherein:

the remote communication link is at least one of;

a telephone, a facsimile, and a computer network.

17. A funding system comprising:

a lending processor to approve a request for a loan from a borrower, to create a record that associates an amount of the loan with an access code, and to communicate the access code to the borrower remotely and further associates a password with the access code and communicates the password to the borrower; and

an automated teller machine (ATM) to identify the borrower and to provide the loan amount without the use of a card, wherein the ATM comprises an input to accept the access code and the associated password from the borrower.

18. The funding system according to claim 17 wherein:
