220 Automatic Teller Machines and Fare Machines
220.1 General. Where automatic teller machines or self-service fare vending, collection, or adjustment
machines are provided, at least one of each type provided at each location shall comply with 707.
Where bins are provided for envelopes, waste paper, or other purposes, at least one of each type shall
comply with 811.
Advisory 220.1 General. If a bank provides both interior and exterior ATMs, each such
installation is considered a separate location. Accessible ATMs, including those with
speech and those that are within reach of people who use wheelchairs, must provide all the
functions provided to customers at that location at all times. For example, it is unacceptable
for the accessible ATM only to provide cash withdrawals while inaccessible ATMs also sell
theater tickets.
