cash machines

Automated currency dispensers

Cash machines are automated terminals that dispense currency and handle basic banking transactions—checking balances, making deposits, transferring funds.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say ATM.

There's a cash machine in the lobby if you need to withdraw some money.
