TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates generally to point of sale systems and retail backend systems.

BACKGROUND

Conventionally, point of sale (POS) systems facilitate merchandise purchase transactions by calculating the amount owed by the customer, indicating the amount, providing one or more methods of payment, and preparing an invoice for completed purchases. Cash deposits to a customer bank account typically occur at bank counters or automated teller machines (ATMs) operated by specific financial institutions (FIs).
