Cash Management
Loading & Programming Cash
Vault cash is the money placed inside your ATM for customers to withdraw. After physically loading cash, the ATM must also be told how many bills are in the cassette.
Important: Loading Cash Has Two Parts
First, physically load the bills into the cassette. Then use the ATM's operator menu to program the amount you added. If the bill count is not entered correctly, the ATM may not dispense.

- Reinsert the cassette securely until it is fully seated.
- Select Add Cash, enter the bill count you loaded and confirm.
- Complete a test dispense.
