Abstract
Systems and methods for authenticating a user's identity at an ATM are provided. A method for authenticating a user's identity at an Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) includes using a first receiver to receive information from an ATM touch screen relating to a first numerical digit and a second numerical digit selected by the user. The method further includes using a second receiver to receive information from a fingerprint scanner relating to first biometric information input into the fingerprint scanner and second biometric information input into the fingerprint scanner, wherein the fingerprint scanner is removably coupled to the ATM via a USB port included in a secured portion of the ATM, the secured portion of the ATM being inaccessible to the user. The method may also include using a transmitter to transmit the information received by the first receiver and the second receiver to a remote server.
