INTRODUCTION
Automated teller machine is a mechanical device that has its roots embedded in the accounts and records of a banking institution .It is a machine that allows the bank customers to carry out banking transactions like, deposits, transfers, balance enquiries, mini statement, withdrawal and fast cash etc. Notwithstanding, we lived in a world where people no longer want to encounter long queues for any reason, they don’t not want to wait for too long time before they are attended to and this has led to the increasing services being rendered by banks to further improve the convenience of banking through the means of electronic banking. On this note the advent of ATM is imperative, although with its own flaws. Crime at ATM‟s has become a nationwide issue that faces not only customers, but also bank operators. Security measures at banks can play a critical, contributory role in preventing attacks on customers.
WHY USING THIS TOPIC
Using an ATM is pretty straightforward for most of us.
But that might not be the case with people who are illiterate/semi-literate.
It makes it a lot harder for such people to use the machine, but a new machine is looking to change all that.
As banks look to expand to rural areas in the developing world, universal literacy cant be assumed, so an ATM machine is required that doesn’t need people to be able to read.
NRC Corp’s machine fits the bill
It identifies people using a biometric fingerprint scanner and then allows them to choose the amount that they would like with suitable pictures on the screen.
This makes it easier for a illiterate person to withdraw money and removes the barriers that they face with traditional ATMs.
OVERVIEW OF FINGERPRINT:
A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all part of the finger. A friction ridge is a raised portion of the epidermis on the palmar (palm) or digits (fingers and toes) or plantar (sole) skin, consisting of one or more connected ridge units of friction ridge skin. These are sometimes known as "dermal ridges" or "derma papillae".
FEATURES
Among all the biometric techniques, today fingerprints are the most widely used biometric features for personal identification because of their high acceptability, immutability and individuality.
It is a well known fact that fingerprint is unique to each and every person. These features make the use of fingerprints extremely effective in areas where the provision of a high degree of security is an issue.
The analysis of fingerprints for matching purposes generally requires the comparison of several features of the print pattern.
These include patterns, which are aggregate characteristics of ridges, and minutia points, which are unique features found within the patterns.
It is also necessary to know the structure and properties of human skin in order to successfully employ some of the imaging technologies.
