SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRESPONDENT BANK CUSTOMER ATM TRANSACTION PROCESSING

Systems and methods provide the customer of a correspondent bank, having a pre-arranged relationship with an ATM bank to use the ATM bank's ATM network, with the opportunity to deposit funds via check or cash using the ATM bank's ATM network. A correspondent bank profile and/or individual customer profiles are created and stored on the ATMs of the ATM bank and/or the backend system. The correspondent bank customer initiates a transaction with an ATM on the ATM network, is authenticated, and the ATM determines the customer is a customer of the correspondent bank. Based thereon, the ATM offers the customer the option to perform a deposit transaction. The ATM bank clears the deposited funds and sends transaction information to the correspondent bank including MICR data, check image, and transaction information. The transaction is settled through a demand deposit account owned by the correspondent bank and maintained by the ATM bank.
