  • a banking system comprising;

    at least one automated transaction machine, wherein the at least one automated transaction machine includes an automated banking machine,wherein the automated banking machine is operative to cause financial transfers responsive at least in part to data provided by machine users,wherein the automated banking machine includes;

    at least one reader device, 

    wherein the at least one reader device is operative to read customer identification data provided by a machine user,a cash dispenser, 

    wherein the cash dispenser is operative to selectively dispense cash stored in the machine to authorized users of the machine,at least one display device,at least one computer,at least one data store, 

    wherein the at least one data store includes instruction data corresponding to instructions that are operative to cause the at least one computer to cause the machine to carry out a transaction logic flow that is operative to cause financial transactions, 

    wherein the instructions include 

    data corresponding to a plurality of points in the transaction logic flow, 

    wherein each point is associated with a state of the machine during execution of the transaction, 

    data corresponding to a plurality of display screen outputs, and 

    data associating each of the plurality of points with a respective display screen output,wherein the at least one computer is in operative connection with the at least one reader device, the at least one display device, the cash dispenser, and the at least one data store,wherein the at least one computer is configured to operate responsive at least in part to the instructions to 

    cause customer identification data which corresponds to a financial account to be read through operation of the at least one reader device, and 

    cause read customer identification data to be compared with authorized machine user identification data stored in an authorized machine user information data store,wherein the at least one computer is operative to allow a machine user to carry out a transaction responsive at least in part to the machine user being recognized as an authorized user of the machine based at least in part on computer-determined correspondence between 

    customer identification data read by the at least one reader device, and 

    authorized machine user identification data stored in the authorized machine user information data store,wherein the at least one computer is configured to operate responsive at least in part to the instructions during a cash dispense transaction to cause the machine to 

    communicate at least one message with a remote financial transaction host, 

    wherein the at least one message includes data corresponding to the customer identification data read through operation of the at least one reader device, 

    dispense cash from the machine through operation of the cash dispenser responsive at least in part to

    communication received from the remote financial transaction host, and 

    cause the financial account to be assessed a value associated with the cash dispensed,wherein during the cash dispense transaction the at least one computer is operative to 

    cause the machine to be at each of the plurality of points in the transaction logic flow, and 

    cause the at least one display device to output each of the plurality of display screen outputs when the machine is at the associated points,wherein the at least one computer is operative to cause the machine to communicate with a remote server, wherein the remote server is other than the remote financial transaction host, 

    wherein communication of the machine with the remote server is not operative to cause financial transfers, 

    wherein responsive at least in part to communication with the remote server, the at least one computer is operative to cause at least one change to at least one of 

    the data corresponding to the plurality of points in the transaction logic flow, and 

    the data corresponding to the plurality of display screen outputs.
