1. Apparatus comprising:
- a plurality automated banking machines, wherein each of the automated banking machines operates responsive to data read from data bearing records, wherein each of the automated banking machines includes;
a card reader, wherein the card reader is operative to read card data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts;
at least one processor in operative connection with the card reader, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause financial transfers involving financial accounts corresponding to data read from user cards responsive at least in part to correspondence between card data and stored data,a printer, wherein the printer is in operative connection with the at least one processor, and wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause the printer to print a record corresponding to each financial transfer,at least one computer in operative connection with at least one data store, at least one communication device and at least one input device;
wherein the at least one data store includes data corresponding to;
a plurality of entities, having operational responsibility for at least one of the automated banking machines,at least one computer program used by each of the respective entities in operation of the automated banking machines for which such entity has operational responsibility;
communication information enabling communication with each of the respective entities;
and wherein responsive at least in part to receiving at least one input through the at least one input device, which at least one input includes data corresponding to an update code item operative to provide update changes to at least one computer program, the at least one computer is operative to determine at least one entity using the at least one computer program in operation of a first automated banking machine, and to cause at least one message to be sent to the at least one entity through the operation of at least one communication device.

Abstract
Automated banking machines (10) operate to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. Each of the automated banking machines includes a card reader that is operative to read data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. Transactions are authorized responsive at least in part to correspondence between card data and stored data corresponding to authorized users. Entities responsible for operating the automated banking machines may receive messages that include information or update code items for software or firmware usable in the banking machines for which they have operational responsibility.

17. Apparatus comprising:
at least one computer associated with an update support system, wherein the at least one computer is operable to determine which entities have operational responsibility for at least one automated banking machine that both; uses a particular program code for which an update is available, and is operable to carry out transactions involving financial accounts identifiable at least in part by user data read by at least one machine reader, wherein the at least one computer is associated with at least one data store, wherein the at least one data store includes; data linking the entities to the particular program code, contact information associated with the entities, and update data corresponding to at least one update code item for the particular program code, wherein the at least one computer is operable to use the contact information to notify the entities determined to have the operational responsibility, that; the update is available, and the update data can be obtained through the system, wherein the at least one computer is operable to modify the at least one data store to indicate which of the entities notified obtained the update data through the system. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. Apparatus comprising:
at least one computer associated with an update support system wherein the at least one computer is operable to determine that at least one entity has operational responsibility for at least one automated banking machine that is operable to carry out transactions involving financial accounts identifiable at least in part by user data read by at least one machine reader and that uses a particular machine program for which a first update is available, wherein the at least one computer is associated with at least one data store, wherein the at least one data store includes data that; associates the at least one entity with the particular machine program, associates contact information with the at least one entity, and associates the first update with the particular machine program, wherein the at least one computer is operable to use the contact information to notify the at least one entity determined to have the operational responsibility for the at least one automated banking machine, that the first update is available for the at least one automated banking machine, and the first update can be obtained through the system, wherein the at least one computer is operable to modify the at least one data store to include data which indicates that the at least one entity was notified about the first update being available. - View Dependent Claims (20)
