Card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine

Apparatus comprising:

• an automated banking machine that operates responsive at least in part to data react from data bearing records to cause financial transactions, including:
• a card reader operative to read card data on user cards corresponding to financial accounts;
• and
• a cash dispenser;
• a housing, wherein the plurality of hardware components are in operatively supported connection with the housing;
• at least one door, wherein the at least one door is movable between a closed position and an open position;
• and
• at least one input device positioned within the housing;
• and
• at least one computer in operative connection with the card reader, the cash dispenser and the at least one input device;
• wherein when the at least one door is in the open position the at least one input device is operative to receive authorization information through a manual operation by the user, wherein when the at least one door is in the closed position the at least one input device is not capable of receiving the authorization information through the manual operation by the user;
• wherein the cash dispenser is responsive at least in part to the authorization information to cause the cash dispenser to accept data received from the at least one computer by the cash dispenser for use with authenticating communications received by the cash dispenser from the at least one computer, wherein when the at least one door is in the closed position, the cash dispenser is operative to authenticate at least one communication received from the at least one computer using the accepted data, wherein the cash dispenser is operative to dispense cash responsive at least in part to the at least one authenticated communication received from the at least one computer.

Apparatus comprising:
