## Abstract

An automated banking machine system operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The system is operative to read a financial card bearing account indicia with a card reader. A user is able to perform at least one banking operation with an automated banking machine responsive to account indicia read by the card reader from the card. The banking operations include dispensing cash and accessing financial accounts. A user is also able to perform at least one banking operation with an automated banking machine responsive to financial account data received by the system from a mobile phone.
