Abstract
An automatic deposit-receiving and cash-dispensing system for use in banks and the like, which contemplates the use of a customer'"'"''"'"'s identification card issued by the bank to each of its customers, and comprises an automatic deposit-receiving and cashdispensing machine, a data-transmitting system and an electronic computer which stores data concerning the balances of the accounts of the customers. When a customer uses his card in the machine for making a deposit or withdrawal, the validity of the card is checked and the account number, the amount of money to be deposited or withdrawn and other data are sent to the computer. On the basis of these data the computer rewrites the balance of the customer'"'"''"'"'s account and sends necessary data back to the machine, which operates to accept the deposit from, or dispense the required amount of cash to, the customer.
