System and method for managing a network of cash service machines

Abstract:

In a method of processing a cash transaction, a transaction processing system receives an account transaction request identifying a user account and a cash transaction to be carried out using a cash service machine (CSM). A set of CSMs available for processing the account transaction request is determined and a list of available CSMs is transmitted to the requesting user device. A request to process the transaction including an identification of a selected CSM is received the user device or the selected CSM. A unique authentication code is generated and transmitted to the processing requester. The transaction processing system receives from the non-process requester, an authentication request including a purported authentication code. The system then verifies that the purported authentication code matches the unique authentication code. Upon positive verification, the system transmits an instruction to the CSM to carry out a cash exchange according to the requested account transaction.
