The present application claims the priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201410314920.0, titled “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING SITUATION OF CARD DETAINMENT IN SELF-SERVICE TERMINAL”, filed on Jul. 2, 2014 with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of financial self-service terminal, and in particular to a method and a system for handling card detainment in a self-service terminal.
In existing ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) technologies, an ATM may detain a card due to operation mistakes of a user, such as, inputting incorrect passwords for three times in a row, or forgetting to take the card out before time-out. After the card is detained, if the user wants to get the detained card, a current practice is that the user has to go to a counter of the bank detaining the card and registers with an identity card, in order to take back the card.
If the card detainment is inter-bank, it is very troublesome to get the detained card because regulations of some banks are very strict. For example, if a user has a card of a bank A and the card is detained on an ATM machine of a bank B, the user has to go to a counter of the bank A to get a relevant certificate of the detained card which needs to be stamped, and then take the certificate of the bank A to a counter of the bank B to register via the identity card, in order to take back the card.In a self-service device and a method for retaining or taking a card disclosed in an invention patent having an application number 201310200388.5, after a card of a user is detained, the user can take the detained card out from a machine which retains the card via a card number and a password by self-service. Although the device for detaining or returning a card provides more convenience to a user than a traditional one, the device has its limitations. That is, if a card of a user is detained by an ATM having a serial number B and belonging to a bank A, only from the ATM having the serial number B and belonging to the bank A can the user take back the detained card by self-service, which means the detained card cannot be handled on another ATM machine elsewhere. That is to say, a requirement of taking back the card at a different place cannot be handled with the device for detaining or returning a card. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a method and a system for handling a detained card of a user on an ATM machine at a different place, to bring convenience for the user to handle a detained card at a different place to saves cost of time, money and energy
In order to solve the technical problem in the conventional technology that a self-service terminal cannot handle a card detained by a self-service terminal at a different place, a system for handling card detainment in a self-service terminal is provided according to the present disclosure, with which a user can take a new card from a self-service terminal at a different place.
