Troubleshooting ITMs Onsite

If you discover an issue with an ITM or a client makes you aware of one, troubleshoot the issue by expanding a section below. 

If you need to email the Virtual Bankers (VBs), bear in mind that service requests are time-sensitive and NCR dispatches calls on a first-come first-serve basis. VBs are available from 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Include in the email:

  • Office where the ITM is located
  • Terminal ID
  • Location of ITM on the property (for example: drive-in lane 1, the left lobby terminal)
  • Contact person’s name and phone number 
  • Detailed description of the issue
  • Client account information if applicable
  • Any error messages
  • Pictures of any damage


Power Outage

Do the following:

  1. Check if the ITM has power.
  2. If the ITM has power then stop; you are done
  3. If not, email the VBs at _ExpressChannel that the terminal has no power. 

Cash/Check Deposit Jams

If you discover a cash/check deposit jam when withdrawals and balance inquiries still work, do the following:

  1. If a VB is on the call, then the VB ends the session and directs the client to complete the transaction one at one the following places:  
    • The next-nearest ITM 
    • The drive in
    • The lobby 
  2. If a VB is not on the call (for example: client making a deposit using the SATM) then email the VBs at _ExpressChannel with detailed notes on the transaction.

Not Dispensing Cash

If you discover an ITM not dispensing cash but deposits and balance inquiries still work, and a VB is on the call, then do the following:

  2. The VB directs the client to complete the transaction one at one the following places:  
    • The next-nearest ITM
    • The drive in
    • The lobby

If you discover an ITM not dispensing coin(s), but withdrawals without coin, deposits, and balance inquiries still work, then do the following:

  1. With a pen or similar small slender object, dislodge the coin from the chute.
  2. Email the VBs at _ExpressChannel that the ITM has a dispenser issue.
  3. A VB opens a service ticket. 

Wrong Amount of Cash (Too Little)

Choose one of the following procedures depending on your situation.

With VB (Client)
  1. The VB attempts to re-dispense the cash.
  2. If that does not correct the amount, then the VB does one of the following:
    • Under $25 – The VB credits the account the missing amount
    • Over $25 – The VB completes an error resolution


With VB (Non-client)
  1. The VB attempts to re-dispense the cash.
  2. If that does not correct the amount, the VB directs the individual to the next-nearest ITM. 


Without VB (SATM Withdrawals)
  1. For clients, have them complete an error resolution.
  2. For non-clients, refer them to their financial institution (issuer of card) to file an error resolution.

Loss of Audio

Do the following: 

  1. Hang the phone up all the way on the hook (lobby terminals).
  2. Unplug the headphones from the headphone jack.
  3. The VB does the following:
    1. The VB uses the chat feature to communicate with the client.  
    2. If the client does not want to use chat, the VB ends the current session and the client taps back in.
  4. If none of these restore the audio, then the VB does the following:
    1. The VB ends the session and directs the client to complete the transaction one at one the following places:  
      • The next-nearest ITM 
      • The drive-in 
      • The lobby

  3. If this does not work, then email the VBs at _ExpressChannel and they will submit a service ticket.

ID Scanner Not Working
