Abstract
Methods and a system for inter-device Self-Service Terminal (SST) interactions are provided. A customer causes a request for assistance to be communicated from a SST during a transaction. A device in proximity to the SST accepts the request. A message is selected by a clerk of the device and relayed to the SST for presentation during the transaction. In an embodiment, the device wirelessly receives the request from a second device that is also in proximity to the SST.
