Abstract
A method of operating an automated transaction machine (ATM) can include receiving a token from a user. The method can also include confirming a personal identification number (PIN) of the user and dispensing banknotes in response to the confirming. The method can also include at least partially disengaging a first component of the ATM from a remainder of the ATM. The method can also include altering the first component to a non-conforming condition after being at least partially disengaged. The method can also include re-engaging the first component with the ATM after being altered. The method can also include replacing a second component of the ATM after the re-engaging. Replacing the second component can include pairing the second component with a computing device of the ATM. The pairing can be responsive at least in part to the altering.
