Working of ATM First the client will insert he is card in the ATM and then ATM will ask for a Personal Identification Number (PIN), Once the correct pin is given the ATM will ask for the money to be with drawn. If the amount is available and the client has enough money on his credit then the money will paid. Once the money is offered to be client, a count down is started , if this time out is over the money will be collected back by the ATM and the transaction will be rolled back. The ATM will communicate each transaction to the data base and obtain verification that it was allowed by the database. If the database determines that the PIN is invalid, the customer will be required to reenter the PIN before the transaction can proceed.
If the transaction fails for any reason other than in valid PIN, the ATM will display an explanation of the problem and will ask the customer whether he want to do another transaction. The ATM will provide the customer with printed receipt for each successful transaction showing the date, time, machine location, type of transaction, amount and available balance of the affected account

Objectives of Study
To present the extent of usage of ATM services by the customers. To identify the problems faced by the customers using the ATM. To know the satisfaction level of customers about ATM services.
METHODOLOGY
Sources of Data Primary data : Questionnaires
Secondary data : Articles in the journal Magazines RBI Websites Sample size: 65 Respondents Analysis of Data Statistical tools like Averages, Percentages are used to analyze the data.
Limitations of Study
The study is confined to few select Customers of Various banks. As study is based on information given by respondents the accuracy of results depends on their promptness and ability to recollect. The study is restricted to usage of ATMs. The study not covered entire city.
ATM Hardware
An ATM is typically made up of the following devices: CPU (to control the user interface and transaction devices) Magnetic and/or Chip card reader (to identify the customer) PIN Pad (similar in layout to a Touch tone or Calculator keypad), often manufactured as part of a secure enclosure. Secure cryptoprocessor, generally within a secure enclosure. Display (used by the customer for performing the transaction) Function key buttons (usually close to the display) or a Touchscreen (used to select the various aspects of the transaction) Record Printer (to provide the customer with a record of their transaction) Vault (to store the parts of the machinery requiring restricted access) Housing (for aesthetics and to attach signage to)
ATM Software
A Suncorp Metway ATM running OS/2 With the migration to commodity PC hardware, standard commercial "off-theshelf" operating systems and programming environments can be used inside of ATMs. Typical platforms previously used in ATM development include RMX or OS/2. Today the vast majority of ATMs worldwide use a Microsoft OS, primarily Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Embedded. A small number of deployments may still be running older versions such as Windows NT, Windows CE or Windows 2000. Notably, Vista was not widely adopted in ATMs. A Wincor Nixdorf ATM running Windows 2000

ATM Security and Tips to follow ATMs keep your personal identification number (PIN) and other information safe by using encryption software such as Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard). But there are lots of things that you can do to protect your information and your money at an ATM. Many banks recommend that you select your own PIN. The following are some of the tips to follow:
Don't write down your PIN. If you must write it down, do not store it in your wallet or purse. Make your PIN a series of letters or numbers that you can easily remember, but that cannot easily be associated with you personally. Avoid using birth dates, initials, house numbers or your phone number.
Store your ATM card in your purse or wallet, in an area where it won't get scratched or bent. Get your card out BEFORE you approach the ATM. You'll be more vulnerable to attack if you're standing in front of the ATM, fumbling through your wallet for your card. Stand directly in front of the ATM keypad when typing in your PIN. This prevents anyone waiting to use the machine from seeing your personal information. After your transaction, take your receipt, card and money away. Do not stand in front of the machine and count your money. If you are using a drive-up ATM, get your vehicle as close to the machine as possible to prevent anyone from coming up to your window. Also make sure that your doors are locked before you drive up to the machine.
If someone or something makes you uncomfortable, cancel your transaction and leave the machine immediately. Follow up with your bank to make sure the transaction was cancelled and alert the bank to any suspicious people.
For safety reasons, ATM users should seek out a machine that is located in a well-lighted public place. The entry of your four-digit personal identification number (PIN) on the keypad should still be obscured from observation, which can be done by positioning your hand and body in such a way that the PIN entry cannot be recorded by store cameras or store employees.
Fraud Attempts
There have also been a number of incidents of fraud by Manin-the-middle attacks, where criminals have attached fake keypads or card readers to existing machines. These have then been used to record customers' PINs and bank card information in order to gain unauthorized access to their accounts. For a low-tech form of fraud, the easiest is to simply steal a customer's card. A later variant of this approach is to trap the card inside of the ATM's card reader with a device often referred to as a Lebanese loop. When the customer gets frustrated by not getting the card back and walks away from the machine, the criminal is able to remove the card and withdraw cash from the customer's account. Another simple form of fraud involves attempting to get the customer's bank to issue a new card and stealing it from their mail.
The main advantage of using an ATM is the fact that you can have access to the cash in your bank account whenever you need it. If, for instance, you are at a store that does not take checks or credit cards but it has an ATM, you can withdraw the money for your purchase. This also means you can travel anywhere without cash. If the location has an ATM and you have your ATM card, you can access your money instantly.

4. Majority of the cardholders possess the cards since 3 years or more. As the town selected for study happens to be a district headquarter, awareness about ATM technology was in advance.
5. It indicates that nearly 40 per cent of the card holders use the facility once in a month. On the basis of the above it can be concluded that majority of them are salary holders who might be using it for drawing the salaries credited once in a month. 6. It indicates that most of the customers use it for withdrawal of cash. Hence it can be concluded that awareness about multiple uses of ATM card is yet to be achieved 7. Personal Identification Number (PIN) is the most important code to be used for transacting through ATM. It is such a number which should not be revealed and which should be periodically changed for the purpose of security. Hence an analysis is made through this study to know how the cardholder protect this number.
