French term or phrase: caisses automatiques
"... les prestations portant sur les automates bancaires ou les caisses automatiques ..."
These are services performed by the crew of an armored money-transport vehicle. On the front of some banks there is a kind of "drop" where customers can deposit valuables even when the bank is closed. Perhaps this is the concept.

automated/secure drop-off points


Explanation:
ATMs are usually where current account holders can withdraw cash or deposit cheques, but it sounds like this is a slightly different context (i.e., security personnel deliveries).

agree  MatthewLaSon: "automated cashier terminals" I think you are right. A "caisse" is a machine used to peform monetary transactions. I don't how it could have another meaning here.
