Description

[0001]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, POS registers and the like have been introduced by mass retailers themselves for money management, and have been used for grasping sales quantities and counting money. A lot of trouble has been required for change management and replenishment of banknotes. In addition, troubles associated with handling money and their management also took a lot of trouble. At present, sales data and actual money rarely fit together.
[0002]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Accordingly, a method has been devised in which all cash management is outsourced to the financial institution by replacing the register installed in a commercial facility or the like with an ATM / self-POS register of the financial institution. A self-service POS register function is introduced into the conventional ATM, and the collection and replenishment of change and bills are all performed by the financial institution, and the system is not involved in the commercial facilities at all. In other words, this is a system in which the commercial facility does not have ownership over money.
[0003]
【The invention's effect】
The commercial facility is freed from all the money management, and the cost burden is eliminated. However, sales information can be collected as before. For financial institutions, it is possible to secure an ATM installation location and to establish a very strong relationship with commercial facilities. For example, in the case of a convenience store or the like, it is expected that the need for additional ATMs will increase in the future, but it is difficult to add ATMs in relation to the installation space. However, if the self-POS register and the ATM are integrated, the same effect as installing four to six ATMs in the conventional register installation space can be obtained. In addition, since clerks and store managers cannot handle money in crime prevention, there is no merit of robbery, and a crime prevention effect can be expected. In addition, there is no room for financial troubles caused by clerks or the like.
