Abstract
A self-service terminal can include a computing device, a display, a transceiver, a card module, an optical scanner, and a radiation source. The display can be in communication with the computing device and be controlled by the computing device. The computing device can be configured to transmit and receive data through the transceiver. The card module can have an intake and card reader configured to read a chip or a magnetic strip. At least part of a path of movement of the card through the self-service terminal can be defined by the card module. The scanner can be positioned on a first side of the path to capture an image of a first side of the card. The radiation source can emit radiation at an area of the card when the image is being captured.
