A METHOD FOR OPERATING AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE AND METHOD FOR DISCREET RECOGNITION AND REPORTING OF A DURESS TRANSACTION

Abstract A computerized password verification system and associated method is disclosed for discreet recognition and reporting of a duress transaction being imposed upon a user at an ATM or other remote cash-dispensing terminal. The inventive system utilizes conventional ATM hardware including a card reader, keypad and display together with its associated operating and communications software required for transaction processing, and further comprises the programmed generation and display screen of a list of transaction acceptance passwords (TAPs) with a prompt to the user for a TAP selection to confirm the validity of the immediate transaction. The prompted display of the TAP list appears following the initial acceptance of the user's persona] identification number (PIN) and requires the ATM user to select the TAP from the list that is currently registered to the user. While selection of the user's current TAP from the prompted list verifies the immediate transaction., the selection of any other TAP from the displayed list would constitute a 'panic' TAP that triggers the generation of a silent alerl signal to the authorities.
