The withdrawal device of the automated teller machine including a cash storage unit, withdrawal unit and a cash transfer unit for transferring cash from the cash storage unit to the withdrawal unit is formed at the end of the withdrawal unit, and the cash stack unit and cash stack for accessing the cash to the outside It is formed in correspondence with the inlet of the part, and is formed while engaging the rotation axis of the shutter and the recovery member including a rotatable shutter to open and close the inlet, a support plate rotatable at the bottom of the cash stack portion and a recovery bin located below the support plate And a driving member including a rotary gear, a base formed to be adjacent to the bottom of the support plate, a center bar for rotating the support plate, a center bar serving as a rotation axis of the support plate, and a power unit for providing power to the center bar. Therefore, since the shutter can be opened and closed by one rotation shaft and the support plate can be rotated at the same time, the bills on the support plate can be recovered, so that the collection structure is simple, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the power consumption can be reduced.
