Automated banking machine

At least one article including computer executable instructions configured to cause at least one computer associated with an automated banking machine including

• a check acceptor operable to receive a financial check from a user of the machine during a check transaction,
• a check imager operable to cause generation of image data corresponding to a visual image of at least a portion of the check received by the check acceptor,
• at least one reader operable to read user data usable to identify a financial account involved in the check transaction, and
• a user interface comprising at least one output device,
• to carry out a method comprising:
• (a) operating the at least one computer during a check transaction involving a check, to determine check data corresponding to visual indicia represented in image data generated through operation of the check imager;
• (b) operating the at least one computer to cause at least one transaction request message including data corresponding to the check data determined in (a) and user data read through operation of the at least one reader, to be sent to at least one transaction authorization computer;
• (c) operating the at least one computer to receive responsive at least in part to the at least one transaction request message being sent in (b), at least one transaction authorization message including both
• machine instruction data,
• wherein the at least one computer is operable to at least cause responsive at least in part to receiving the machine instruction data, a credit value associated with an amount of the check to be indicated through the at least one output device,
• and
• transaction identifying data assigned to the check transaction at least in part through operation of the at least one transaction authorization computer,
• wherein the transaction identifying data is usable to identify the check transaction;
• (d) operating the at least one computer to cause the transaction identifying data received in (c) to be associated with the image data;
• and
• (e) operating the at least one computer to cause at least one image message to be sent to at least one remote computer that differs from the at least one transaction authorization computer,
• wherein the at least one image message includes in associated relation, both the transaction identifying data and the image data.

At least one article including computer executable instructions configured to cause at least one computer associated with an automated banking machine including a cash dispenser, a check imager, and at least one reader operable to read user data usable to identify a financial account, to carry out a method comprising:

• (a) operating the at least one computer during a check transaction to cause image data corresponding to a visual image of a check input to the machine, to be generated responsive at least in part to operation of the check imager, wherein the at least one computer is operable to cause the cash dispenser to dispense cash responsive at least in part to input of a check to the machine;
• (b) operating the at least one computer responsive at least in part to image data generated in (a), to cause check data corresponding to visual indicia included on the check to be determined;
• (c) operating the at least one computer during the check transaction to receive transaction identifying data sent from at least one remote computer;
• and
• (d) operating the at least one computer to cause at least one image message to be sent to at least one remote computer, wherein the at least one image message includes data corresponding to both the image data generated in (a) and at least a portion of the transaction identifying data received in (c).
