Tech Bytes: Check Casher Installed On Md. Military Base

Mr. Payroll Corp., a subsidiary of Cash America International Inc., said it has installed the first self-service check- cashing machine on a U.S. military base.

The Mr. Payroll machine at Fort Meade, Md., employs facial biometrics, the same recognition technology used to control access to the Pentagon and other high-security sites. Even people without bank accounts can cash their own checks 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no photo identification required.

The machine is one of more than 40 Mr. Payroll has deployed over the last year.
