Structure of ATM

Page 10: Banking law & and operation

An Armenian named Luther George Simjian was forced to move to USA in the year 1920, under the account of Armenian Genocide. He owned to his credit the invention of a portrait camera and then rolled out the formulated idea of ATM, the Automated Teller Machine. Confident of his invention, he persuaded Citibank to run his product on a six month trial basis. Soon enough, he was disappointed with the performance and the lack of users and concluded that ATM was a wasteful addition to personal banking. And lack of demand for the ATM finally forced him to take a back seat. Clear enough; the time was not right for this concept to have been accepted generously. Simjian clearly lost out on the success and fame and the same was passed on to two other gentlemen, John Shepherd-Barron and Don Wetzel.

Historical development of ATM

Page 11: Banking law & and operation

Today, ATMs hold a strong foothold in the world, offering everyone a better access to their money, be it in any corner of the world. Let’s put figures to assumptions, there are about 1.8 million ATMs in use around the world with ATMs on cruise and navy ships, airports, newsagents and petrol stations. ATMs too have been categorized as on and off premise ATMs. On Premise ATMs are capable to connect the users to the bank with multi-function capabilities. Off premise, ATM machines on the other hand are the "white label ATMs" and are limited to cash dispense, no balance enquiries, no statement print-out. The developments have not stopped; the contactless technology is on its rise. Shepherd-Barron continued to take inimitable and lively interest in technology well even in his old age and had foreseen a future where plastic cards too would be numbered. For his excellent and unforgettable contributions to financial technologies, he was also offered the OBE in the year 2005. And in the year 2010, he took his last breath and left behind his legacy of technological advancements which would refuses to end. Many more inventions are in process and many will be successful too. The time is just right to bring in the glorious inventions rolling in.

SMART CARDSA smart card is a device that includes an embedded integrated circuit chip (ICC) that can be either a secure microcontroller or equivalent intelligence with internal memory or a memory chip alone. The card connects to a reader with direct physical contact or with a remote contactless radio frequency interface.

TELE BANKINGTelephone banking is a service provided by a bank or other financial institution, that enables customers to perform financial transactions over the telephone, without the need to visit a bank branch or automated teller machine. Telephone banking times can be longer than branch opening times, and some financial institutions offer the service on a 24-hour basis. From the bank's point of view, telephone banking reduces the cost of handling transactions by reducing the need for customers to visit a bank branch for non-cash withdrawal and deposit transactions.

MICR CHEQUE The Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) is basically a system

which is used in banking operation world wide particularly for cheques. Due to a tremendous increase in the volume of cheques, it becomes very difficult to cheque each and every cheque to establish genuineness. To make this work easy, the MICR system has been used in banking operations.

MICR TECHNIQUE Under this system, a cheque is pre coded with a band of codes and

that is witten on ot can be read by machines very easily. The cheque can be read directly by MICR, without the necessity of Transcribing the data on punched cards of paper tapes.

Generally, the requisites information is printed on the cheque in the form of codes with a special type of Ink. This ink is made of magnetic material. So, when the cheque is inserted into the machine, the information printed is magetized and it is read by the machine instantly. Thus, MICR technology is very useful in establishing the genuineness of a cheque and thereby it avoids frauds

Page 48: Banking law & and operation

FEATURES OF MICR CHEQUES

1). Size:- Under MICR system, the size of a cheque becomes an

important element. Different size have been prescribed for different accounts, so that cheque pertaining to one account may be easily distinguished from another.

2.Quality of paper : the MICR system requires the us of good quality paper for cheques. The machine would not be able to read the information of a cheque on a poor quality paper. Hence, the working group on the use of MICR cheque has suggested that the weight of the paper should be 95 grams per sq.meter width.3. MICR Code : Generally, a MICR cheques contains a band of codes having a width of “5/8” at the bottom of it. This band code can be divided into 5 fields as started below.

Page 52: Banking law & and operation

Drawbacks of MICR

1. This technology is very costly. Since a special type of paper is required for MICR cheque, so it is costlier.

2. This facility is limited for cities only, so only limited customers can make use of it.

3. It should not be fold and nothing should be written on the band of codes except signature and rubber stamp should enter the code band

4. The IT revolution has made it possible to introduced E-cheque and turncated cheque. So MICR cheque not gained more popularity.

Advantages

1. Since MICR cheques are read by machines, the chances of error are minimized

2. The transfer of funds between two banks can take palce very easily and at greater speed.

3. The main advantage is that the clearing work is made for esier.4. The burden of manual work gets r educed and t the same time

accyracy is maintained
