1. Apparatus comprising:
- an automated banking machine operable responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records,wherein the machine is operable to communicate with a remote financial transaction host that is operable to authorize the machine to carry out transactions,wherein the machine includes at least one data reader,wherein the at least one data reader is operable to read customer data that is usable to identify a financial account,wherein the machine includes a cash dispenser,wherein the cash dispenser is operative to selectively dispense cash stored in the machine to authorized customers of the machine,wherein the machine is operable to allow an authorized customer to carry out a cash dispense transaction involving a financial account identified through use of customer data read by the at least one data reader, responsive at least in part to receiving authorization from the financial transaction host for the cash dispense transaction,wherein the machine is operable to cause the financial account to be assessed a value associated with cash dispensed in carrying out the cash dispense transaction,wherein the machine includes at least one display,wherein the at least one display is operable to output display screens to machine users,wherein the machine includes at least one data store including;
first arrangement data that causes the machine to follow a first arrangement of transaction logic flow steps when carrying out a first transaction, andfirst display data that corresponds to a plurality of display screens associated with the transaction logic flow steps of the first arrangement,wherein the display screens associated with the transaction logic flow steps of the first arrangement are displayable through the at least one display;
a server remotely located from the machine,wherein the server is not operable to authorize the machine to carry out transactions,wherein the server is operable to communicate at least one message to the machine through at least one communication path that is independent of the financial transaction host,wherein the at least one message causes the at least one data store to include;
second arrangement data that causes the machine to follow a second arrangement of transaction logic flow steps when carrying out a second transaction which differs from the first transaction,
wherein the second arrangement differs from the first arrangement, andsecond display data that corresponds to a plurality of display screens associated with the transaction logic flow steps of the second arrangement,
wherein the display screens associated with the transaction logic flow steps of the second arrangement are displayable through the at least one display.

Abstract
A system includes a plurality of machines that operate responsive to data bearing records such as user cards (74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86). The machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (90, 94, 100, 104) responsive to determinations that card data corresponds to computer stored data corresponding to authorized users or accounts. Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server (110) which is connected to the machines. Systems can also distribute and activate instructions corresponding to states and screens logic on the machines to determine operation.
