What is a CDM Machine?
CDM is short for Cash Deposit Machine and performs the opposite function of an ATM or Automated Teller Machine; CDM machine accepts deposits against a customer’s bank account instead of dispensing cash from the same account.
CDMs are freestanding kiosks that may be wall-mounted as well, and they have a very similar interface and user experience to more recent iterations of the ATM.

The Anatomy of a CDM (How CDM Machine Works)
Many self-service solutions providers will allow you to configure a banking kiosk that works for you and your use cases. Here, we have a standard example of a modern Cash Deposit Machine.
As standard options, CDMs will have a touchscreen interface, some form of biometric data collector, a cash vault or bag, and most importantly, a cash acceptor. Other options include a card reader, check scanner, document scanner, etc.
The most common biometric sensors on CDMs are fingerprint sensors, facial recognition, and liveness detection cameras. These sensors serve the purpose of identity verification when accessing one’s account or onboarding new customers.
Most modern self-service kiosks have large multi-touch displays to enable an easy and familiar user interface, similar to other touch-based devices like smartphones and tablets. This makes the kiosk easy for all age groups, even those unfamiliar with smartphones and tablets.
These kiosks have vaults or bags that store deposited cash, similar to ATMs. The capacities of these vaults differ and can be customized based on a financial institution’s requirements.
The cash acceptor is a CDM’s most essential and definitive module, which gives it purpose. These modules can be differentiated by their cash-in capacity, i.e., bunch or bulk. Bunch deposits are limited to 50 notes at a time, while bulk deposits can accept up to 500 notes at once.
CDMs aren’t limited to the capabilities mentioned above and can be equipped with additional modules to increase their capability exponentially:
- Cash recyclers, so they can both accept and dispense cash
- Escrow function, so cash isn’t stuck in case of an outage
- Check acceptor, to accept banker’s checks
- Document scanner to scan customer ID in case of new registration or identity verification
- Card dispenser to issue and dispense debit cards to new customers
- Card acceptor, to accept payments against bills or other transactions
