What Are The Requirements of The ATM

An automated teller machine (ATM) allows customers to perform basic banking transactions without a human teller. ATMs have card readers to insert debit/credit cards, prompt users to enter PINs, allow selection of services like withdrawals and deposits, and dispense cash. They also display account balances and print receipts. Key requirements for ATMs include functional capabilities like processing transactions, as well as non-functional needs such as security, robustness, and ability to restart. Fulfilling these requirements involves connecting ATMs to bank databases in real-time, using validation techniques, and implementing security measures like encryption, firewalls, and monitoring systems.
