One of the major problems people face is the loss of the password and not remembering it again, these have cause a lot of damage to many people and organizations. ATM fraud has been very common in all banks and the problems has created fear in many costumers heart that they prefer going to the bank to collect their money than to use an ATM, also many people are illiterate that they don’t know how to use the ATM card. So, the main aim of introducing ATM machine has not been met because you still find long queues in almost all banks in Nigeria. The existing ATM machine uses PIN-Card as a security which is very weak and easy to contravene. This paper tries to find a solution to the above problems by introducing fingerprint authentication into the existing ATM machine. A program prototype was designed to imitate a typical ATM system that uses fingerprint identification to enhance the security of the ATMs. The proposed system demonstrated a three-tier architectural structure. The verification system which centered on the enrolment, enhancement, feature extraction and matching of fingerprints. The backend database system that serves as warehouse of the templates of all ATM account holders’ pre-registered fingerprints. The system’s platform creates related transactions such as withdrawals, bill payment, buying of credit cards and balance enquiries etc. The results obtained confirm that the current approach could significantly reduce ATM fraud if not totally eradicate it.

2012
Because biometrics-based authentication offers several advantages over other authentication methods, there has been a significant surge in the use of biometrics for user authentication in recent years. In this paper the existing security of the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) system has been improved by integrating the fingerprint of the user into the bank's database as to further authenticate it. This was achieved by modelling and building an ATM simulator that will mimic a typical ATM system. The end result is an enhanced biometric authenticated ATM system that ensures greater security and increased customer's confidence in the banking sector.
ATM Security Using Fingerprint Biometric Identifer: An Investigative Study
2012
The growth in electronic transactions has resulted in a greater demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication. Access codes for buildings, banks accounts and computer systems often use personal identification numbers (PIN's) for identification and security clearances. Conventional method of identification based on possession of ID cards or exclusive knowledge like a social security number or a password are not all together reliable. An embedded fingerprint biometric authentication scheme for automated teller machine (ATM) banking systems is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, a fingerprint biometric technique is fused with the ATM for person authentication to ameliorate the security level.

However, this has also increased the amount of fraudulent activities carried out on Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) thereby calling for efficient security mechanisms and increasing the demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication in ATMs. This research analyses, designs and proposes a biometric authentication prototype for integrating fingerprint security with ATMs as an added layer of security. A fingerprint biometric technique was fused with personal identification numbers (PIN's) for authentication to ameliorate the security level. The prototype was simulated using a fingerprint scanner and Java Platform Enterprise Edition was used to develop an ATM application which was used to synchronize with a fingerprint scanner thereby providing a biometric authentication scheme for ca...
A Research Paper on Biometric based ATM System
International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2022
Biometrics-based authentication is a potential alternative to password-based authentication. Of all biometric methods, face-based identification is one of the most convenient one. In ATM systems, facial images are captured using a high resolution camera. Bank security measures can play an important role in preventing customer attacks. These measures are of paramount importance in addressing the weaknesses of civil lawsuits. Banks must meet the criteria to provide their customers with a secure banking environment. This paper focuses on the increased vulnerability and criminal activity of automated teller machines (ATMs), not the bank themselves. Both customers and bankers.
A Study of Possible Biometric Solution To Curb Frauds in ATM Transaction
IJASCSE Volume 2 Issue 3, 2013
In the modern growing world, the authentication and verification of a person is of more concern. It has always been the area to worry about the security and confidentiality of the consumers. In the complex and fast moving world it is not an easy task to maintain the authenticity and integrity of consumers. While getting money out of the ATMs, a PIN is required and if that PIN is hacked by someone then consumer can lose our money and other identities. To overcome from the current problem, banks and financial organizations can have a security solution which can combine the current technology with biometrics using physical characteristics like fingerprints, eyes and hands scanners to authenticate a person. It may prevent the ATM’s frauds and can improve the security level of other financial transactions.

Even we can use voice recognition also. Combination of such technologies may help in reducing the ATM frauds and hence can...
ATM SECURITY IMPROVEMENT USING BIOMETRICS: A REVIEW PAPER
IAEME PUBLICATION, 2020
Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is a mechanized raconteur machine which is an automated gadget which helps the media in transmissions wherein that provide a monetary organization to the clients with approach to budgetary substitutes in a free space without the involvement for a human assistant or bank worker. In ATMs the client is recognized by embedding a plastic biometrics dependent confirmation provide various favorable situation in other configuration scheme, it has supplanted the secret word based validation and token-based validation. Biometrics assumes a substantial work in Automated Teller Machine (ATM) construction, Online-Commerce, E-banking, authorization. The advancement in electronic interchange has been extended enormously. There is a lots of noteworthy involvement for fast and particular client recognizable proof and verification. Robotized raconteur Machine is the best methodology for getting financial help from anyplace and whenever it required. Being an electronic media transmission gadget, it encourages the client to perform exchanges/pull back money. An overview demonstrated that there isn't an appropriate safety in pulling back money from ATM's. There are no legitimate confirmation strategies applied for safety at the time of ATM exchanges. This paper involves, safety procedure of ATM has been centered around and have been enhanced utilizing biometric verification strategy for example face acknowledgment. One of the fundamental thought processes of biometric is to forestall unapproved access implies everybody can't access the ATM implies the client should present to access the ATM.
Biometric system is a pattern identification system that recognizes an individual by determining the originality of the physical features and behavioral characteristic of that person. Of all the recently used biometric techniques, fingerprint identification systems have gained the most popularity because of the prolonged existence of fingerprints and its extensive use. Fingerprint is dependable biometric trait as it is an idiosyncratic and dedicated. It is a technology that is increasingly used in various fields like forensics and security purpose. The vital objective of our system is to make ATM transaction more secure and user friendly. This system replaces traditional ATM cards with fingerprint. Therefore, there is no need to carry ATM cards to perform transactions. The money transaction can be made more secure without worrying about the card to be lost. In our system we are using embedded system with biometrics i.e r305 sensor and UART microcontroller. The Fingerprint and the user_id of all users are stored in the database. Fingerprints are used to identify whether the Person is genuine. A Fingerprint scanner is used to acquire the fingerprint of the individual, after which the system requests for the PIN (Personal Identification Number). The user gets three chances to get him authenticated. If the fingerprints do not match further authentication will be needed. After the verification with the data stored in the system database, the user is allowed to make transactions.
