buzoneras

English translation: cash and deposit machines (CDMs)

Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Uruguay
Spanish term or phrase: buzoneras
This seems to be some sort of automated banking facility. Seems to be similar to but not synonymous with an automated teller machine.

Some context:

Asimismo, se emitió la normativa con la nueva segmentación de las empresas administradoras de crédito y se emitieron las regu-
laciones referidas a la protección de los clientes con discapacidad que alcanzan a todas las instituciones supervisadas, en lo que re-
fiere a las instituciones de intermediación financiera, exigen que dispongan de cajeros automáticos, **buzoneras ** y otros dispositivos automáticos afines que cuenten con tecnología que facilite el acceso a los clientes con dificultades visuales.

Explanation:
For the UK, I believe they're called CDMs, not sure what they're called in the US.

"How do I use a Cash & Deposit Machine (CDM)?
A number of branches have a Cash & Deposit Machine which lets you perform more functions than a normal Cash Machine."

agree  Kristina Love: I actually think Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) is the way to go if the translation is for non-U.S. English-speakers.

deposit-only ATM machines


Explanation:
By searching for "buzonera bancaria" I found an article discussing a robbery. In the article the term is explained, and you are right, it is similar to an ATM except only for deposits. From the article: ´Se trata de una máquina similar al clásico cajero automático aunque en este caso solo permite depósitos.´ I don't have specialist expertise in the area.

"deposit-only ATM machines" is a calque that would be readily understood by readers in the U.S., where I don't believe we have such a thing.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cinco delincuentes arrancaron una buzonera automática.

agree  Robert Carter: I looked at Uruguay bank sites too, but I didn't notice they're deposit-only. The ones we have here in Mexico are multifunctional, so if you're right about them being deposit-only, I'd go with your suggestion.
