A method of upgrading a self-service terminal (SST), such as an ATM. An
SST is first identified which has (1) a screen for displaying withdrawal
options usable by a customer and (2) a touch input mechanism for
receiving user commands. Then the SST is modified so that it can receive
user commands from a wireless telephone. The modifications may include
retro-fitting the SST with a transceiver adapted to receive signals
directly from a wireless telephone. Alternately, or additionally, the
modifying step may include retrofitting the SST and/or a network system
host with a program for enabling the SST to receive a transaction from a
remote source.
