Cash machine capable of face recognition

The new automated teller machine will work just like a tablet, with face recognition to identify customers.

Diebold, a US security company, announced that they have successfully built a new generation of cash machines. Their device has a touch screen, capable of detecting people and "reading" the code quickly (QR code) to identify the user. It also has a number of security cameras. The interface and controls on the screen are identical to tablets and mobile phones, Discovery reported.

Diebold's ATM machine will not use paper during operation. For example, after the customer withdraws money, it does not issue a transaction invoice, but sends the message or email to the customer's phone and computer.

Diebold displayed their equipment at the Consumer Electronics Show in the US in January this year. In the show, people connect ATMs with a mobile device to scan the code quickly. Cloud computing services handle fast response code and customer face to verify their identity without reading the bank card. Then the transaction screen shows up on the mobile phone so the user selects the amount that they want to withdraw. The bank sends a code to the customer's mobile phone and they have to enter it into the ATM to make the transaction.

If customers want to send money to another person, they just need to enter the amount and phone number of the customer into the ATM. The bank will send a code to the recipient's phone. The person brings the code to an ATM or bank branch to withdraw money.
