What is ATM and how does it support Banks?

 ATM stands for Automated Teller Machine.

On most modern ATMs, the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with amagnetic stripe or a plastic smart card with a chipthat contains a unique card number and some security information such as an expiration date or CVVC (CVV). Authentication is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN).
