 | | An automatic teller machine (ATM) is an electronic device which allows a bank's customers to make cash withdrawals and check their account balances at any time without the need for a human teller. |
 | | Many banks in the USA charge fees for the use of their ATMs by non-depositors, for withdrawals over the network by their own customers, or both; however, in the UK strong public reaction soon persuaded banks not to do this. |
 | | Of course, not all errors are to the detriment of customers; there have been cases of machines giving out money without debiting the account, or giving out higher value notes as a result of incorrect denomination of banknote being loaded in the money cassettes. |
