A bezel assembly (100) for use in a transactional device (200) that comprises a door (212) attached to the transactional device (200) to open and close the door (212), a bill validator (230) arranged within the transactional device (200) inside the door (212), and a transactional computer (240) arranged in the transactional device (200) for electrical connection to the bill validator (230) for driving the transactional device (200), wherein the bezel assembly (100) comprises:

• a casing (110) secured to the door (212) or a casing (110) secured to the bill validator (230) to keep the casing (110) outwardly extending through a validator window (220) formed on the door (212) when the door (212) is closed,
• an interior insertion/dispensing slot (128) provided in the casing (110) to insert a document into the interior insertion/dispensing slot (128) that is communicated with a document acceptance slot of the bill validator (230) to transport the document from the interior insertion/dispensing slot (128) to the bill validator (230),
• a hollow tongue or protrusion (140) forward-extending from the casing (110) to define a bottom surface of the interior insertion/dispensing slot (128), and
• a wireless communication module (150) arranged in the hollow tongue or protrusion (140),
• the wireless communication module (150) comprises:
• a receiver module (151) for receiving an ID signal indicating a user's identification from a built-in NFC chip (431) housed in an identification card (432) when put in the interior insertion/dispensing slot (128) of the casing (110), and
• a transmitter module (152) for transmitting the ID signal from the receiver module (151) to the bill validator (230), and
• the bill validator (230) comprises:
• a reception device (231) for receiving the ID signal from the transmitter module (152) of the wireless communication module (150) through a wired or wireless communication device, and
• a transmission device (232) for transmitting the ID signal from the reception device (231) to the transactional computer (240) that identifies the user based on the received ID signal.
