Interactive
ATM - cashpoint machine
simulator
If
you don't know how to work a cashpoint
machine (also known as an ATM, which
stand for Automatic Teller Machine
or a 'hole in the wall'), don't worry.
Play with this fully interactive one
by following the instructions above
the ATM screen and you'll be ready
for the real thing in no time!
Every now and again you will run out funds just to show you what to expect, if this happens follow the instructions at the top of the cash machine.
Tip: If there is a problem with your card it may be retained by the machine (often described as 'the machine has eaten my card'). If this happens don't panic, simply go into the bank (return later if it is closed at the time) and explain what has happened. The bank will then tell you what to do.
