It is observed that the numbers of crime related to ATM increased hence need to provide better security to ATM machine. There are different technologies which are used to provide security to ATM machine which include � Biometric technology, RFID technology etc. Biometric technology includes fingerprint and face recognition system. In this paper survey of different technologies for ATM security is presented. In these technologies, there are some limitations. By comparing various technologies which are used for ATM security it observes that fingerprint technology appears better and more secure than other technologies.

Keywords: ATM system, RFID technology, GSM technology, Biometric technology.
