Automated Teller Machine.

Those big machines you see at your bank or at stores that let you insert a debit card to get cash on the spot. Sometimes called a cash machine, these computerized machines also let you take care of other bank stuff without having to schlep into the bank. ATMs let you transfer money between accounts, pay your bills, find out how much you have on your account, deposit checks, and more. Yeah, they're robots.
