Abstract
Provided, in an aspect, is a method for improving security in an automated teller machine (ATM) network, which includes prompting a user, via the ATM, to provide a biometric sample; receiving the sample from a biometric device of the ATM; determining that the sample is not blacklisted; and allowing the user to complete a transaction. Because the method includes storing anonymized event details, which include the biometric sample separate from user-identifying information, the method both improves privacy for law-abiding users and deters malicious use by others.
