An ATM, or automated teller machine, allows users to access their bank accounts to withdraw cash, check balances, and transfer funds without needing to visit a bank branch. ATMs are installed by banks in various locations and allow any user to withdraw funds from their account, regardless of which bank owns the ATM. Transactions may be subject to fees depending on the bank and number of transactions in a month. To use an ATM, a user inserts their debit card and enters their PIN to access a menu of transaction options on screen. Following the on-screen instructions, a user can withdraw cash, deposit funds or checks, and check their account balance.
