Systems and methods for retrofit housing for transaction devices

A method of facilitating a service operation for a transaction device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a housing, a transfer cassette structured to retrievably store banknotes, the housing communicatively coupled to a housing control computing system;
• removably coupling the housing to the transaction device proximate a media aperture of the transaction device;
• causing a transport arm of the housing to transfer the banknotes to and from the media aperture and a media aperture interface of the housing;
• and
• causing a housing transport apparatus to transport the banknotes to and from the transfer cassette via at least one of a transfer cassette interface and the media aperture interface.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied therein that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations to facilitate servicing a transaction device, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a sensor, a first indication that a housing is removably coupled to the transaction device proximate a media aperture of the transaction device;
• receiving, via the transaction device, a first user input;
• causing a housing transport apparatus to begin transferring a first set of banknotes to and from a transfer cassette and a media aperture interface, the media aperture interface positioned proximate the media aperture;
• causing a transport arm to begin transferring the first set of banknotes to and from the media aperture and the media aperture interface;
• determining that the first set of banknotes has been transferred;
• providing a second indication to the transaction device that the first set of banknotes has been transferred.
