Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses using a processor coupled to a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions. The processor is configured to count a first amount of currency, wherein the first amount of currency is the actual amount of currency received by a teller money drawer, receive an indication of a second amount of currency, wherein the second amount of currency is an expected amount of currency, compare the first amount of currency to the second amount of currency, discover a discrepancy between the first amount of currency and the second amount of currency, and transmit discrepancy information to be displayed on a teller computing device.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- a currency counting device;
- and
- a processing circuit communicably coupled to the currency counting device, the processing circuit comprising a processor and memory, the memory configured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to:
- cause a first amount of currency to be counted by the currency counting device, wherein the first amount of currency is an actual amount of currency received by a teller money drawer;
- receive an indication of a second amount of currency, wherein the second amount of currency is an expected amount of currency;
- determine that the first amount of currency is a discrepancy amount different than the second amount of currency;
- determine that a teller error is a potential source of the discrepancy based on the discrepancy amount being below a threshold;
- cause a display device of a teller computing device to display an indication of the discrepancy within a first pop-up window indicating that the first amount of currency is the discrepancy amount different than the second amount of currency;
- cause the display device of the teller computing device to display an indication within a second pop-up window that the teller error is the potential source of the discrepancy based on the discrepancy amount being below the threshold;
- wherein the indication of the discrepancy within the first pop-up window is configured to be selectable by a user and the processor is configured to cause the display device to display the indication that the teller error is the potential source of the discrepancy within the second pop-up window responsive to the user selecting the indication of the discrepancy within the first pop-up window.

A method comprising:
- counting, by a currency counting circuit, a first amount of currency, wherein the first amount of currency is an actual amount of currency received by a teller money drawer;
- receiving, by a teller transaction circuit, an indication of a second amount of currency, wherein the second amount of currency is an expected amount of currency;
- determining, by a discrepancy circuit, that the first amount of currency is a discrepancy amount different than the second amount of currency;
- determining, by the discrepancy circuit, that a teller error is a potential source of the discrepancy based on the discrepancy amount being below a threshold;
- causing, by a display circuit, a display device of a teller computing device to display an indication of the discrepancy within a first pop-up window indicating that the first amount of currency is the discrepancy amount different than the second amount of currency;
- causing, by the display circuit, the display device of the teller computing device to display an indication within a second pop-up window that the teller error is the potential source of the discrepancy based on the discrepancy amount being below the threshold;
- and
- causing, based on a user selection of the indication of the discrepancy within the first pop-up window, the display device to display the indication that the teller error is the potential source of the discrepancy within the second pop-up window.
